Do you really think the company offers enough flexibility for personal life?

Alexis A.

Lead Business Analyst

Yes. I currently work a pattern of 4 days doing 8 hours per day. My manager is flexible if I need to finish earlier one day for childcare or personal reasons and I just work longer the other days of the week. Although I work a set 4 days I know that if I needed to be out of the office one day I could swap my day off or sometimes I do this to accommodate a meeting. I think if you are flexible and trustworthy to do your job, the company will support you with what you need. You have regular catch ups with your manager to ensure your work load is manageable and this is set between you and your manager as to how regular these meetings are. They need to suit you both and be agreed to meet individual needs.
