Work-Life Balance
Work-Life Balance
We have a range of initiatives in place to allow flexible workplace arrangements for those of you who have family responsibilities outside of work. The provision of laptops and the ability to dial into Freehills systems from home, assists lawyers in taking a flexible approach to their work hours while still meeting the needs of clients operating in a demanding business environment.
Freehills provides opportunities for part-time work and job-sharing arrangements to enable those who have new family responsibilities to continue working for the firm. We also assist you with other aspects of your wellbeing. For example, we regularly invite a variety of guest-speakers to present information on a range of topics, such as health, financial considerations and home buying. Parents are welcome to join our 'Parent's Network', which hosts social events, information-sharing forums and has regular guest-speakers discussing current parenting issues.
You may access our Employee Assistance Program, which provides an external counselling service to assist with any personal stresses or concerns that may be affecting your quality of life.
We also encourage staff to become involved in many sporting and fitness opportunities. These activities are either held during lunchtimes or on weekends. We have teams in corporate netball competitions, fun runs, marathons, bush-walking, and rowing competitions, to name a few.
