Flexible working

Flexible working describes a type of working arrangement which gives a degree of flexibility on how long, where, when and at what times employees work. Imperial is committed to providing a supportive environment and recognises that flexible working can be of benefit to both employees and the university.  Flexible working can help staff to feel more emotionally engaged, and more satisfied with their work.  The ability to consider flexible working options can also be attractive when recruiting new staff to ensure the university is able to recruit the best and diverse workforce.
