Work–life balance policy

At BizOps Enterprises, work–life balance is defined as the development, implementation,

and facilitation of initiatives that enable our employees to balance their work and personal
lives. BizOps is committed to providing a culture that is healthy and supportive of work–life
balance. To achieve this, BizOps promotes flexible work arrangements and other initiatives
to support employees to balance their work and personal responsibilities and interests.

Implementing work–life goals and strategies is designed to meet organisational and

individuals' needs. BizOps recognises that work–life balance is important to support
recruitment and retention strategies and to enable employees to contribute to the
achievement of our organisational goals.

The work–life policy requires cooperation to ensure the needs of both the organisation and
individual employees are met.

Principles

• The business needs of BizOps and associated client activity must be fully addressed
when implementing the work–life policy. The impact on clients and colleagues must be
positive, or at least neutral, and must be fully understood by both the employee and their
manager.
• Managers and supervisors should assist employees to access work–life policies and
flexible work arrangements. Managers and supervisors should ensure that employees
are aware of their options; give prompt consideration to requests; be fair and transparent
in their decision-making and judge individual cases on their merits.
• Requests will be fully considered, but employees need to understand that not all forms of
flexible scheduling are appropriate to all employees or positions.
• An open conversation is critical for evaluation and assessment of requests for work–life
options approval; however, the final decision will be made by a manager.
• Flexible working practices should not adversely affect an employee’s career or
professional development opportunities.

Available options for flexible work arrangements

• Job-sharing
• Flexible work hours
