Wickes recognises that a better work-life balance can improve your motivation, performance, productivity and reduce stress. We want to support you to achieve a better balance between work and other priorities, such as caring responsibilities, leisure activities and further learning.
At Wickes we support a number of styles of flexible working including, flexible hours, home working and part time working. We are committed to agreeing any flexible working arrangements, provided that the needs and objectives of both the organisation and the colleague can be met. The aim is to find a solution that suits both the individual and the business.
Working out a mutually beneficial flexible working arrangement starts with a good conversation with your line manager. This guide aims to explain flexible working, what it is and the best ways to approach that conversation.
