Tom knows that flextime can be a valuable benefit for his employees, but he isn’t sure how to implement a flextime program.
Balancing work and life demands can be hard for employees. A traditional workweek schedule doesn’t offer the flexibility that all employees need. Allowing employees to work flexible schedules is an inexpensive way to help them find their work-life balance.
Flextime is any schedule that doesn’t follow the standard workweek model. A flextime workweek could consist of four 10-hour days or of hours set by the employee that include the business’s defined peak work hours. Schedules can be whatever both Jeff and his employees agree upon.
For the flextime program to work successfully, Tom will need to monitor schedules carefully to ensure that key people are available during critical work hours. He should also ensure sufficient supervision and coordination between departments within his business. Safety and security issues will need to be reexamined, and policies changed as necessary, before flextime can be implemented.
