A Flexible Working Ambassador School (FWAMS) can provide valuable support to your school in adopting a flexible working approach in several ways:
Expert Guidance: FWAMS can offer expertise in implementing flexible working policies. They can provide guidance on best practices, legal considerations, and effective strategies for accommodating different work arrangements.
Resource Sharing: FWAMS may have access to resources such as templates, toolkits, and case studies that can help your school understand the benefits of flexible working and how to implement it successfully.
Training and Development: They can offer training sessions or workshops for school leaders, managers, and staff to help them understand the principles and practices of flexible working. This can include training on communication strategies, time management, and maintaining productivity in a flexible work environment.
Policy Development: FWAMS can assist your school in developing or revising flexible working policies that are tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. They can help ensure that these policies are fair, transparent, and compliant with relevant regulations.
Change Management Support: Implementing flexible working policies may require a cultural shift within your school. FWAMS can provide support with change management processes, including engaging stakeholders, addressing concerns, and fostering a positive attitude towards flexible working among staff.
Evaluation and Feedback: FWAMS can help your school assess the effectiveness of its flexible working policies through data collection, surveys, and feedback mechanisms. They can offer insights into areas for improvement and help refine your approach over time.
Networking Opportunities: FWAMS may facilitate networking opportunities with other schools or organizations that have successfully implemented flexible working policies. This can provide valuable insights and inspiration for your own implementation journey.
