Medibank supports its employees with flexible working, and where possible encourages the following:
- Mobility and ‘following your work’
- Flexibility to enable employees to work with the right people at the right times, creating purposeful and productive collaboration
- Encouraging new and different ways of working and collaborating
- Recognising the benefits of offering home-based work options
- Effective use of technology to access and share information with others, reducing paper dependency.
Some common types of flexible working arrangements may include, but not be limited to:
- Working from home – this could be a permanent, temporary, regular or ad hoc arrangement
- Activity based working
- Changing start and finishing times
- Working part time hours or job sharing
- Working less or more hours of work
- Compressing full-time hours into a shorter duration
- Coming to work dressed for your day ahead, whether that be smart casual or corporate
- Working additional hours to make up for time taken off in lieu of taking other forms of leave
- Accruing paid time off instead of receiving overtime payments (if entitled)
- Changing the location of your work, or the regularity with which you need to attend an office.
