We have been working hard to negotiate great conditions for our new Enterprise Agreement at ART.
Flexible Work
We’re really excited to be finalising an industry-leading clause on flexible work at ART.
When we talk about flexible work, we mean our start and finish times, our days of work, and our location of work (including from home!). However, this flexible work clause goes way beyond just work from home. It will empower us to work with our teams to design flexible work that works for us and the Fund.
We know this is a high priority issue for people across the Fund, so we’re happy to tell you that there will be no mandated return to the office. Instead, teams will be able to determine when and where they need to work to deliver the best outcomes for members.
This means that flexibility will look different from team to team, and person to person. It also means that every single person at ART will have access to flexible work.
Hours of Work
This week we started discussing hours of work, span of hours, workloads and staffing.
This means we’re talking about issues like how many hours we work each week, and the times of day we can work our ordinary hours.
We’re also tackling some big issues like workloads and whether they can be achieved in our ordinary working hours. This means we’re also discussing whether we have the right number of people in the right roles to get our work done.
We’d love to hear from you! Can you get your work done in your working hours? Is staffing at the right level?
