Work-Life Balance
We aim to be a 'best practice' employer. We understand our employment policies need to be flexible and responsive to promote diversity and equality, and to attract and retain the highest quality work force. We not only fully embrace the Employment Act, which gives government regulations on paterni - ty, adoption and statutory maternity leave, but we go beyond the statutory requirements to help all staff balance the demands of work and per - sonal life. To find out more about flexible working hours, job sharing and many other schemes to help you achieve a healthy balance, vist: https:// hr.leeds.ac.uk/policies .
