Approaches to workplace flexibility continue to diverge, with some organisations maintaining fixed office expectations while others adopt more adaptable models and realise measurable improvements in performance and productivity.
In this session, Catalina Consultants founder Merilyn Speiser will share expert insights, supported by case studies, to help organisations establish flexibility as a standard way of working rather than a temporary response. The discussion explores what flexibility looks like in practice, key data and emerging trends, the legislative context and considerations beyond compliance, as well as the benefits for both employers and employees, current best practice approaches, and a practical management framework.
