In addition to our full, bespoke, consultancy services, we also offer a service to help clients deal with specific issues that have already been identified

The following packages provide a modular approach to the development of a work-life balance strategy for your organisation. This puts you firmly in control of the cost of consultancy support, the approach you want to take and the shape of that support. It also helps us to meet your specific needs, as each module may be tailored to create an implementation programme which fits with your organisational culture, people strategy and business environment.

The modules may be purchased individually to complement or formalise existing work-life balance practice, or in groups to develop and initiate a full strategic work-life balance programme. We supply general advice and guidance, supported at specific stages by one of our experienced work-life balance consultants.

Where two or more modules are required, there may be a certain degree of overlap in which case it may be possible to reduce the combined cost. Similarly, if extra consultancy is required, this can be purchased at an agreed day rate, depending on the type of support sought. If your needs are known at the outset, we can quote you a contract price for an agreed level of consultancy advice and supporting material.

Each module includes:

• Up to six days (depending on the module) consultancy support from a specialist Flexible Working consultant

• Access to Swiftwork for information and advice throughout the project

• All documents and materials specified within each module.
