With the empowered legislation to allow two Flexible Working Requests (FWR) each year, businesses face the dilemma of what work pattern is best suited to running their business and keeping an engaged workforce. Flexible working patterns are in three forms:
- On-site: the traditional ways of working in the office
- Hybrid: a mixture of working onsite and remotely
- Remote: a type of work pattern that allows employees to work from anywhere
When considering remote work, risk assessments are important to determine whether there are any health and safety concerns or GDPR compliance issues that could affect the quality of work.
