Flexible working refers to work arrangements that allow employees to have a variable schedule outside the traditional 9-to-5 workday. This can include options such as telecommuting, flextime, compressed workweeks, job sharing, and part-time work. Flexible working arrangements aim to provide employees with a better work-life balance, reduce stress, and increase job satisfaction. These arrangements can benefit employers by improving employee productivity, reducing absenteeism, and attracting a wider talent pool.
With the advancement of technology, remote working and flexible hours have become increasingly feasible, enabling employees to work from different locations and manage their time more effectively. Implementing flexible working requires clear communication, robust IT support, and trust between employers and employees. By offering flexible work options, companies can enhance their employer brand, boost employee morale, and adapt to the diverse needs of their workforce.
