We are committed to ensuring the ongoing health and wellbeing of all our employees and giving people more choice about where and when they work – depending on service needs.

By using technology to support flexible working and helping you work in the most efficient way possible – whether from work, home or another location - we can not only help you, but also support our city in its bid to be carbon neutral.

Our Agile and Flexible Working framework supports us to live our One Coventry Values [/onecoventryvalues] in our work and enable our commitment to workforce diversity and inclusion. Having agile and flexible working approaches enables us to deliver services and be accessible to all our residents and customers.

Agile and flexible working is important because:

  • Our staff have an improved work-life balance supporting us to maintain health and wellbeing.
  • Staff are able to continue to deliver services and be accessible to all our residents and customers.
  • Live our One Coventry Values [/onecoventryvalues] in our work and enable our commitment to workforce diversity and inclusion [https://www.coventry.gov.uk/diversity-inclusion]

The use of flexible working is a valuable tool to improve equity in the workplace and to create an inclusive culture. The ability to work flexibly helps meet the needs of our diverse workforce and has many benefits such as: creating a good work-life balance, helping parents and carers balance work with their caring responsibilities, and supporting those with fluctuating health conditions.
