Flextime - An Alternative Work Arrangement - Part 7

By: cdmohatta

Benefits of flextime work arrangements: (continued from part 6 in this article series.)

Lower traffic congestion during peak hours:
If more and more companies adopt the flextime work arrangement, the peak hour traffic which happens around 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM will get distributed to other parts of the day. This could lead to less traffic on the roads and less commuting time for employees. Who wouldn't like an hour less on the road, every day? This will also lead to less cases of road rage among the employees and cause stress level due to commuting to reduce.

Decrease in tardiness:
Usually people tend to reach office late due to traffic problems or they sometimes leave earlier due to family commitments and other reasons. When employees have flexibility with their work timings, they can adjust their work hours around these other issues in life and devote the required full time in office. This will reduce wastage of time and hence result in less tardiness. This is an obvious benefit of flextime.

Higher employee recruitment:
To attract new talent, companies can offer flextime work schedules in their job offers to prospective candidates. This can help them gain a definite advantage over their competitors by attracting very good people who do not want to work a traditional 9-5 work week. In 2002, the federal government was caught in one of its worst talent crunches ever. But there was increased interest in people towards working for the CIA, FBI, and Internal Revenue Service, and hence the feds went on a MBA hiring binge. To attract budding officials, the feds offered signing bonuses, juicy raises, and flextime work arrangements (Ana Mantica, 2002, www.businessweek.com)
