Embrace Workhour Flexibility with TimeTec TA
 
Workforce dynamics is changing rapidly that not only employees require flexible work hours, businesses need it too. Flexible work hours are not an advantage in the workplace anymore, it has become a necessity for many. Requesting flexibility doesn’t translate to being lazy, it simply means that people have other priorities in their everyday lives that need to be taken care of at certain times of the day.

Having a workplace that requires everybody to be in the office at the regular fixed hours everyday without compromise, could be detrimental to the wellbeing staffs requiring flexibility. Inevitably these staffs would end up taking a few hours off from work to settle their own matters and companies need to deal with unnecessary ‘disciplinary’ action even though all they need is a little flexible time to manage unavoidable circumstances. Employees living with elderly that needs care for example, or those who have sick children that need tending, and etc, are really in need of flexible hour to manage both work and personal matters. This doesn’t apply to only employees, more and more businesses exists online, going international and the world time is always on and therefore, flexibility also applies to various kind of businesses that have to deal with suppliers, clients and partners at odd hours of the day. Businesses have to adapt to change and flexibility when managing workforce.

However, this doesn’t necessarily mean that traditional companies that want to maintain a consistent weekly worktime should be viewed as inferior, because some companies definitely have their own reasons not to apply flexibility in the workplace. For one, these businesses might not require operations to be carried out at abnormal hours, and the other reason, could be that their staffs are very comfortable with the regular work schedule imposed.
