Flexible working

The term 'flexible working' describes any working arrangement where the number of hours worked or the times that work is undertaken vary from standard practice. The University of Aberdeen is committed to engaging in constructive dialogue with members of staff wishing to explore the possibility of flexible working practices to:

• Help them achieve a better balance between home and work responsibilities
• Help them stay at work when circumstances might have prevented them doing so
