Managing the health, safety & wellbeing of agile workers
04/07/2021
This guide considers some of the key issues and effective management principles that can be applied when implementing agile working arrangements, to ensure a positive and healthy work environment for employees.
During recent years we have seen a gradual shift to agile ways of working, as organisations have sought to provide maximum flexibility and minimal constraints, empowering employees to work where and when they choose to. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this process for many, as normal working environments were required to close and remote working became a necessity.
Many organisations have identified potential benefits to this way of working and plan to continue with agile working practices in the longer term. It is essential that managers are supported to help their teams embrace flexible working arrangements. Remote working can offer many advantages for both employers and employees, however it can also present health, safety and wellbeing concerns if such change is not managed effectively.
