3. Ways of flexibility
In terms of the form of flexibility, we can differentiate between two trends or ways of applying flexibility in the workplace: inside and outside the workplace. In spite of these trends, here are some tips to show what flexibility is:
- Teleworking
Teleworking is a work that is done remotely just part of the time. It can be a full-time career, but because videoconferencing typically requires workers to come into work on a semi-regular basis, workers in this situation frequently reside nearby.
- Working from Home
Virtual work is done wholly outside of the workplace. It might be a permanently or temporarily role (such as with an employee traveling on business). Because the person is not required to come back to work at all, they can live and work everywhere in the globe.
It might be a viable choice for companies wishing to expand their application pool and for job descriptions that don’t necessitate in-person labour. Consistent communication and video conferencing are essential for success.
- Flexible vacation time
There has been an increase in the number of stories regarding companies providing limitless paid time off. Of course, this comes with a slew of prerequisites. To be more generous with vacation time, a culture that emphasizes performance quality rather than hours spent is required.
Whatever sort of arrangement a company offers, there must be current flexible work arrangements in place. Flexibility necessitates practice, patience, and some trial and error.
