Topic – Flexible working
As we ease out of lockdown, many workers will be returning to the workplace after long periods of furlough or working from home. Whilst some are keen to get back to old routines, many have now adapted to their new ways of working and spending extra time at home. We will look at the types of flexible working requests employers may be presented with and how to manage these.

Certain trade agreements allow goods to enter the market with preferential or zero duty, depending on the “origin” of their goods.
For example, if 50% of the good is domestically made, it will have favoured access to S. Korea. As members of the EU, European content counts as domestically sourced, so Brexit will have significant implications.
This course will detail an explanation on current preference and non-preference rules of origin, their implications for traders and guidance on how to establish origin.
The learner will know:
The importance and compliance for origin.
How to establish non preferential rules of origin.
Preferential rule of origin & origin documentation.
Cumulation of Origin.
Supplier Declarations.

Remote working has become far more common during the pandemic. There are hints that working completely or mostly from home will become the ‘new normal’ in some organisations. Workers are trying to establish what this means for them on an individual basis – for example, around motivation and work-life balance. Managers have a role to play in helping them find a balance that works for both workers and the business. Researchers from the University of East Anglia have brought together pieces of evidence to share with you in a handy management checklist, focused on improving the wellbeing and productivity of your workforce.
This webinar will cover:
The changing environment for remote working
Benefits and challenges for workers
The 9 points of the checklist, with explanation
Takeaway
Too much control and too much neglect can both cause problems. Reaching a balance will involve managers paying attention to:
Physical and psychological aspects of working conditions
Working relationships between individuals, groups and the organisation
Development opportunities.
