Different Ways of Offering Flexible Working Arrangements

Kelly's digital avatar discusses the different ways you can offer flexible working arrangements.

Here's some of the options:

• Remote work: Allow employees to work from home or another location outside of the office. This could be on a part-time or full-time basis.

• Flexible scheduling: Allow employees to set their own schedules or work hours, within reason. This could include a compressed workweek, where employees work longer hours over fewer days, or flexible start and end times.

• Job sharing: Allow two employees to split the duties of a single job, dividing the responsibilities and hours between them.

• Part-time work: Allow employees to work fewer hours than a full-time position, whether it's by working fewer days or fewer hours each day.

• Compressed workweek: Allow employees to work a full week's worth of hours in fewer days, such as four 10-hour workdays instead of five 8-hour workdays.

• Reduced hours: Allow employees to work fewer hours overall, such as by working only mornings or afternoons.

• Flexibility around breaks: Allow employees to take longer or shorter breaks throughout the day, depending on their needs.

• Seasonal or intermittent work: Allow employees to work during specific times of the year or on an as-needed basis.

If you are going to offer flexible working arrangements, ensure you have good policies to ensure you have consistency, clarity, accountability and to mitigate any potential risk associated with flexible working arrangements.

Overall policies are essential for creating a positive and productive work environment that benefits both employees & employers.

We have implemented an array of flexible working arrangements here at Sass. Some work 100% from home as it suits their lifestyle and others work a mixture of in the office and at home and it certainly works well for us and given us and our staff numerous benefits.

Thanks for watching!
