Worklife Balance

We acknowledge that flexibility to balance both work and home life are seen as a vital aid to the recruitment and retention of skilled and competent employees, as well as promoting job satisfaction and staff commitment. 

Work-life balance empowers employees to fulfill their career aspirations at the University as well as meet their responsibilities outside of work. 

This section provides information on a range of policies that we offer for you to be able to achieve a work-life balance.

 

Flexible working patterns are one of the best incentives and make achieving a sensible worklife balance possible.
