Study Notes
Flexible Work Models
- Annual working hours: Employees aren't required to work 8 hours per day, instead aiming for around 1900 hours yearly. This offers more flexibility.
- Flextime: Employees can set their own working hours within pre-defined block times. A specific example is that employees must be at work by a certain time and finish work no earlier than another specific time.
- Part-time work: Employees work fewer than five days a week (e.g., 4 days per week).
- Job sharing: Two or more people share a single job and responsibilities. Effective job sharing requires good communication between the individuals.
Homeshift Work
- Home office: Employees work from home, a café, or other locations, rather than the office. This is facilitated due to the reduced necessity of office space.
- Essentials for home office: Just a computer, smartphone, and internet connection are needed.
- Impact of Covid-19: The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the viability of home working in various professions.
