FLEX IN THE CITY > FLEXIBLE WOK OPTIONS

Some of the most common flexible work options in practice are:

  • telecommuting: employee who does work at home at least two days a week on a computer that is linked to their office.
  • flextime: flexible working hours during the workweek. Sometimes based on established a mandatory core hours (ex. 9 to 3) with flexible start and end times.
  • compressed week: employee works longer hours in a day but fewer days in the week, i.e. 4-10's, where an employee works 10 hours per day, 4 days per week, 9-80's, where an employee works 9 hours per day, and every other week earns an additional day off.
  • job sharing: Two or more employees split a 40-hour workweek job, sharing in the tasks and responsibilities.

Of course many of these can be mixed and matched for tailor-made flexibility!
