 I am currently working on a programme that will involve relocation to a new head office - as part of the change we are looking to encourage a more flexible working culture - for commercial as well as ways of working reasons.

One area i am looking at at the minute is trying to define the different types of roles in relation to flexible working which is relation to flexible location.  i have a number of options but none seem that attractive at the moment.  

Has anyone gone through this before that could help with definitions in relation to appropriate roles that could work in hot desking environment; what type of criteria may result in anchor desks being a necessity; who would need a 'permanent' desk.

I would be love to hear your experiences!

cheers

It varies a lot.  Are you a sales team?   A product development team? Customer service?   There is no one right answer...

 I think it depends on the type of work that is being done. Is the type of work to be done something that can be successfully done off site? Are the people you would have doing the work the type of people who can work on their own? Some people can't.

 

Does your office currently offer flex hours?

it is actually the whole organisation - ranging from operations; supply chain; finance; trading ; marketing etc

i realise it will not be a one size fits all but i am sure there will be some principles to establish across all functions
