reasonably accommodates external commitments and carer responsibilities. As a flexible and
family-friendly business, ISS recognizes that its staff members have responsibilities and
commitments extending beyond the working environment. ISS is aware that these
responsibilities and commitments can have a significant impact on employment opportunities
and is committed to providing an accessible, supportive and flexible environment for all staff. In
responding to requests for arrangements relating to work/life balance, management will need to
consider work requirements and the current and potential needs of others in responding, keeping
in mind that the ISS seeks:

● Minimization of disadvantage(s) that may result from competing commitments


BSBWHS605 TASK 3

● An environment that is supportive and accepting of the responsibilities of caregivers and staff
with cultural obligations.

employer of choice, initiate a high level of commitment from staff to the work and ideals of ISS,
and provide high levels of job satisfaction and a strong collaborative and collegiate culture while
at the same time reducing stress and turnover. Staff will be provided with a positive work climate
