Flexible working, written so it sticks
Workflowanalyser trains employees and people teams to design flexible working arrangement setups that survive German HR review — hours, location, documentation, and the conversation that opens the door.

Featured programme
A course shaped around German flexible-work practice
Not a generic remote-work pep talk. You map constraints, draft wording, and rehearse the request path your employer actually uses.
What you gain
Consultation skills with paperwork attached
Arrangement mapping
Translate a fuzzy preference (“more home days”) into a schedule model German HR can classify: Teilzeit, Gleitzeit, mobile Arbeit, or a hybrid blend.
Employer-ready language
Templates for request letters and follow-ups that stay factual — coverage plans, core hours, and measurable trial periods instead of vague hopes.
Boundary literacy
Learn where consultation ends and legal advice begins, so you know when to involve counsel, a Betriebsrat, or your works council liaison.
Voices from the programmes
Specific feedback, not applause tracks
The module on documenting core attendance windows stopped me from asking for a “fully remote” setup my team lead could never sign. I left with a two-day mobile Arbeit draft instead.
Useful overall, though I still needed our Betriebsrat for the final wording. The course made that handoff clearer rather than pretending one template fits every tariff agreement.
