Work: Life Balance - The Bigger Picture

Posted Wed, 02/25/2009 - 00:31 by admin

While flexible working hour/flextime/ flexitime describes how a method of working time can operate, the notion of Work: Life Balance is all about its effects.  Elsewhere on Multitime's web site you'll find lots about those effects on individual employees and management. For example, go here 

However, with a true Work:Life Balance, those effects or outcomes, can go far beyond the benefit an individual can gain from the flexibility of working time and location. For example, if an employee can now manage to find time for community work though having more agreeable working hours, then society itself gains. If an employee who re-enters the workforce though finding working hours that match his/her life commitments, then organisations and the overall economy can gain.

 MultiTime Limited is seeing the growth of such knock-on effects in our user base for example:

  • Employees are finding it easier to attend evening courses
  • Home Workers are making a positive contribution to the reduction in C02 emissions through travelling less
  • Improving staff retention rates mean that having more experienced and key staff is now creating a better “customer experience”, where customer facing staff are more knowledgeable.

These effects are many.   MultiTime will be pleased to discuss the subject with you. We hold regular seminars, and can point to multiple case histories and award winning research. All of this will illustrate how your organisation can join the ever growing numbers that are benefiting from flexible working.
