Flexible Work Schedules
In today’s time-pressed world, many employees view time away from
work as an important factor shaping their at-work motivation and
on-job productivity. There are several methods for allowing flexible
work schedules that meet the needs of employees seeking greater
home/work flexibility. One of the more common is a compressed
workweek. This system lets an employee work the same number of
hours over the course of fewer days. Instead of working five eighthour
days, an employee might work four ten-hour days. Other examples
of flexible work schedules include job sharing where two or
more people share a certain work schedule.
