In this episode of the Indicator HR and Employment Law podcast, we look at the government’s response to its consultation on improving access to flexible working and the reforms due to take effect from autumn 2027.
The changes will introduce a new process employers must follow before rejecting a flexible working request, alongside a reasonableness test for refusals. We explore the new meeting requirements, considering alternative arrangements, written decisions and what the changes will mean for employers in practice.
Watch the latest episode to understand what’s changing and make sure you’re ready to handle flexible working requests under the new rules.
