As a company we have always tried to be flexible. This program allows an employee to complete work assignments in an alternate environment, while attending to personal or family needs. Some regularly scheduled time will be required in the office. When considering this option, the nature of the job must be such that it can be done at home. Front-line positions and other customer service specific jobs are usually not suitable for this program.
Some employees prefer to begin their work day earlier while others prefer to stay late.
On a limited scale, employees may work a compressed work week. This provides an extra day off after working extended hours during the majority of the week. Generally, they are more technical or managerial in nature, requiring full-time attention. Job-Sharing arrangements may split a day, a week or a year into equal parts. Job-Sharing gives employees the opportunity for added time off for travel, family or to pursue other interests, while maintaining an important position in the workplace.
