A flexible workforce model is a strategy which enables employees to work hours which suit them – and this may not always be a traditional 9-5. It also allows employees to be flexible about where they work, which may be at home, another remote location or in the office. Many businesses are now looking to adopt a flexible workforce model to improve employee happiness and retention as well as increasing overall productivity in their organisation. If employees can be more flexible around how, where and when they work, businesses are likely to get the best output from them.
