John Holland's Rail Division Implements New Flexible Work Model
John Holland's Rail & Transport business unit has introduced a new flexible work program called 'Flex from the Start,' aimed at addressing the rigid work schedules in the rail construction and maintenance sector. Supported by Women in Construction funding and research from Melbourne University, the initiative focuses on tailoring flexibility to site-based roles. The program includes options like the 'Flex Wheel,' 'No Meeting Mondays,' and the 'Flex 9' model, which allows employees to work nine days over a fortnight. The initiative has led to improved retention, reduced fatigue, and enhanced work-life balance, becoming a permanent feature in January 2025.
