Flex schedule
What is a flex schedule?
A flex schedule at work is when employees are given the freedom to choose their start and end times – within established guidelines.
How do flex schedules impact organisations and their employees?
The modern world of work demands flexibility. For businesses to retain their top people and attract the best talent, flex schedules provide an opportunity for employees to schedule their work around other commitments and responsibilities.
Employees who are offered flex schedules are generally healthier, less stressed, more satisfied with their work, and have greater work-life balance. For organisations, flex schedules can drive productivity, ignite passion, and reduce no-shows. To help employees on flex schedules succeed, companies should set clear performance metrics and provide a vision of what success looks like.
Can organisations make tracking flex schedules easier?
The complexities with flex schedules occur when large workforces, hybrid arrangements, and remote employees are involved. To help employees thrive, organisations must provide them with the tools they need to manage their flex schedule from home, the office, offsite, and wherever they need. This includes giving employees access to project management tools, shared calendars, and a robust scheduling platform they can access from anywhere in the world.
