Hybrid Working Policy
- Introduction
At Positivity Global Coaching, we believe in fostering a work environment that promotes positivity, well-being, and flexibility. This policy outlines our approach to hybrid working, which combines remote and in-office work to empower our team members to achieve their best while maintaining a work-life balance.
- Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for employees and managers on how to effectively implement and manage hybrid working arrangements within our organization.
- Definitions
- Hybrid Working: A work arrangement that allows employees to split their work between the office and remote locations.
- Eligibility
All full-time and part-time employees are eligible to request hybrid working arrangements, subject to managerial approval.
- Request Process
Employees who wish to request a hybrid working arrangement must submit a formal request to their manager, outlining the proposed schedule and reasons for the request. Managers will review these requests on a case-by-case basis, considering business needs and team dynamics.
- Approval Process
Managers will assess requests for hybrid working based on the following criteria:
- Impact on team collaboration and productivity
- Employee’s job responsibilities and suitability for remote work
- Availability and access to necessary tools and resources
- Consistency with the organization’s goals and objectives
- Trial Period
Approved hybrid working arrangements will be implemented on a trial basis for a specified duration, typically three months. During this period, both the employee and manager will assess its effectiveness.
- Communication
Effective communication is essential in a hybrid work environment. Team members are encouraged to use digital tools and platforms for regular updates, meetings, and collaboration.
- Data Security
Employees working remotely must adhere to the organization’s data security policies and use secure networks and devices when accessing company information.
- Work Hours
Employees are expected to adhere to their agreed-upon work hours and be available during core business hours for meetings and collaboration, regardless of their location.
- Performance and Accountability
Performance will be measured based on agreed-upon key performance indicators (KPIs) and objectives. Managers will maintain open lines of communication with remote team members to ensure accountability.
- Flexibility
Hybrid working allows for flexibility in where and when work is conducted, but employees are expected to be responsive and adaptable to the changing needs of the organization.
- Termination of Arrangement
Either the employee or the organization may terminate a hybrid working arrangement with reasonable notice, subject to business needs.
- Review and Modification
This policy will be reviewed periodically and updated as needed to ensure alignment with the organization’s goals and objectives.
- Conclusion
Positivity Global Coaching is committed to creating a workplace that fosters well-being, positivity, and productivity. We believe that hybrid working can contribute to these goals and encourage our employees and managers to work together to make this arrangement successful.
