  • Top 10 Companies with Flexible Work Schedule - 2019

    It was during the early 19th century, Robert Owen, a social reformer and textile mill owner came-up with the concept of eight-hour workday, i.e. ‘eight hours labour, eight hours recreation, and eight hours rest’. This concept later on plunged into the mainstream, wherein five-day, 40-hour workweek became a mandate across various industries and factories. But now, in 2019, this 40-hour mandate seems impossible to be followed by employees as the end outcome is sheer loss in their productivity and increased stress levels. On the contrary, flexible work is the new trend that is rapidly evolving. In fact, this trend is shattering the 9-5 mundane, five-day work model by letting employees to accomplish their preset targets with extreme freedom. This way, their commuting hours and stress levels are being reduced to a great extent, enabling them to enjoy a perfect work-life balance. Ever heard of the concept of four-day workweek? Well, it is quite popular now. According to the Guardian, Microsoft Japan gave its employees every Friday in August off and witnessed happier workers as well as a 40 percent gain in productivity. This four-day workweek was also instituted by organizations & schools in Europe and Oceania and relished positive outcomes, while few companies in US incorporated half day Fridays during summer. It is pretty clear that overwork is one of the trending problems, which is creating a negative impact on the employees, their productivity and also on the organization’s growth, besides stressing on the need for flexible work schedules. Majority of the companies have already nailed this aspect across their culture, while others are still grappling with the challenges involved. Work flexibility is available in a lot of options like part-time, compressed hours, flextime, telecommuting, job-sharing, remote working, freelancing, contracting and many others. Well, allotting the right work flexibility option to the right person in accordance with his/her job responsibilities and personal requirements, is the foremost challenge that these companies are posed with.
