On 6 April 2024, the new Flexible Working Act and accompanying day-one right to request flexible working will come into force, meaning that more employees will benefit from the opportunity to balance their working lives with flexible arrangements. 

So, what do you need to know in order to offer support in the workplace, manage requests pragmatically and overall ensure that you can create working arrangements that benefit your organisation and your people?
