260326 ACS Site Visit: Flexible Working in Frontline Environments

Flexible Working

Hear from three businesses in the CeeD network who’ve been taking part in the Flexible Working for a Fairer Scotland programme over the last year. Each at a different stage of the journey, they’ll share what they’ve tried, what’s worked, and how they’ve tackled real challenges along the way. Expect open discussion, honest reflections and peer‑to‑peer insights grounded in the realities of flexible working in manufacturing. Joined by Flexibility Works, the UK experts in flexible working, the session will highlight how flexibility can strengthen your workforce and improve retention - whatever your size, setup or starting point.
