Vodafone gets less flexible on flexible working Ts&Cs for own staff

Re: Shirking from home

Re "Its a good job that most companies have realised that it matters more about what you deliver," it appears Vodafone has forgotten this lesson. Someone issues a dictate and all must fall in-line.

UK isnt producing enough so that must be the reason. People work in virtual teams - with email - phone messaging skype - you dont need to be sat in the same building - in fact - you very rarely are in same location as those you are dealing with. In short it wont change anything - it will only make matters worse.

Summary - Vodafone is burying it's head in the sand instead of dealing with the real issues - poor product set - lack of defintion of said sets - slooow delivery and lack of ownership and flexibility

Re: Collaboration, collaboration, collaboration!

Have to wonder how this affects Vodafone sales???

Web site https://www.vodafone.co.uk/our-responsibilities/better-ways-of-working/flexible-working/index.htm talks about "75% of employees said flexible working boosts their job satisfaction, 72% said it improved work-life balance, and 54% said they were more productive." and this flies in face of it.

I have worked flexibly for over 20 years - I can work from a costa - home - car - train or home base. Majority of people I deal with are not in my local office so makes no different to myself or people in same role.

Now Vodafone are a) making my day longer b) increasing my costs c) making me less flexible.

Good will; going out of my way and working odd hours just went out the window.

Great move Vodafone
