Following points among others can be considered as advantages and disadvantages of having flexible working hours:
Advantages:
A1. Employees benefit from more freedom.
A2. Reduction in traffic by avoiding rush hours.

A4. Reduction in being absent and/or late at work.
A5. Reduction in overtime expenses.

Flex Place is a Better AlternativeSandy Musallam, Editor, United States Working from home a few days a week is a better alternative in my opinion:
- Employees would save money on gas, and employees who live far away would save money and time.
- The company would benefit also, since a happy employee is a productive one.
There would be a cost to the company but at the end, it is a win win situation. |
