IAG New Zealand has been recognised in the country’s Diversity Works awards program for its MyFlex flexible working arrangements.

It was commended in the work-life balance category.

EGM People and Culture Merran Anderson says MyFlex recognises diversity in all forms and ensures the organisation is well supported.

The health of staff who have adopted flexible working lifestyles has greatly improved, she says. Unplanned leave and absenteeism have dropped among teams with flexible work arrangements.
