Overview:

 

Flexible work arrangements are the most common way employers can meet their staffing needs while giving their workers a valuable benefit.   Instead of employees planning their day around a work schedule as in generations past, jobs that allow for alternative scheduling let employees meet their obligations in a way that suits their needs and still ensures job responsibilities are met.

 

Flexible work programs are work arrangements wherein employees are given greater scheduling freedom in how they fulfill the obligations of their positions.  The most commonplace of these programs is flextime, which gives workers far greater leeway in terms of the time when they begin and end work, provided they put in the total number of hours required by the employer.  Other common flexible working arrangements involve telecommuting, job-sharing, and compressed work weeks.

 

Studies show that employees who participate in flex work arrangements report higher levels of job satisfaction, reduced levels of burnout, and less psychological stress than employees at companies who do not offer flex work arrangements.   

 

Why Should You Attend:

 

Today, especially in light of COVID-19, organizations are offering a wide range of flexible work arrangements.  What arrangements are provided and how they are defined can vary widely.  Prior to putting programs and policies in place, organizations need to be familiar with the various types of flex arrangements, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and how to avoid legal pitfalls when developing programs and policies.
