Distributed Workforce Model
The Law Society has introduced a Distributed Workforce Model to enable the organization to thrive and achieve its strategic objectives while recognizing we work in a dynamic environment where the way work is accomplished has and will continue to evolve quickly. It is rooted in our goal of being agile and leverages flexibility to maximize employee productivity and engagement, enabling us to fulfil our mandate. The Law Society’s workforce model contains 3 work arrangements, determined by role and departmental requirements:
- primarily remote, with a requirement to attend the office on an occasional basis
- primarily on-site, with the ability to work from home on an occasional basis
- a combination of the two, known as hybrid, which means the employees are expected to work 50% of the time in office and 50% of the time from their home-based office.
The specific application of this will be communicated to applicants during the recruitment process.
