What does work flexibility mean?

Labor flexibility means for companies to look to the future, and manage the motivation and talent of their workers in a more efficient and humane way, thus ensuring an increase in productivity and emotional involvement of the workforce, a way of managing the organization's human resources with which both parties win.

Work flexibility translates into a series of measures that the company applies that help to reconcile the work and professional lives of the people who work there, as examples:

  • Make workers' arrivals and departures more flexible.
  • Possibility of modifying working hours.
  • Establishing work shifts.
  • Intensive work days throughout the year or one day a week or in the summer.
  • Compressed work week (10 hours from Monday to Thursday).
  • Possibility of reducing meal times to be able to finish earlier.
  • Banks of extra hours or possibility of recovering hours.
  • Facilitating teleworking or remote work.
  • Working on specific projects or objectives.
  • Opening and closing shifts
  • Shared workplaces with distributed hours.
  • Prohibition of meetings beyond a specific time, or of working more hours than stipulated in the contract.
  • Flexibility when choosing vacation shifts.
  • Use of new technologies.

Currently with systems to record working hours and manage work by projects such as Timenet, it can be much easier to apply all this series of measures aimed at labor flexibility. Timenet is an online application, which does not require installing any software, and is accessible from any place and device with an internet connection, so that the geolocated registration of the entries and exits of the business workforce is easier than ever, this can help to make the schedule more flexible and also promote teleworking.

All these measures will also help to retain talent in the company itself, ensuring that the people who work there feel comfortable, involved, motivated and capable of giving their best for that brand.
