New Flexible Working Research

 

 

MultiTime’s research programme which has just been completed and carried out in conjunction with the City Of London University shows:-  

 

Amongst over 1,000 users of our VisionTime system in the UK and Ireland,  there is a strong connection between reduced workplace stress and employees having working time arrangements that matche their work : life commitments. 

The connection is in fact that our users of our flexible working hours system feel greater job control.  

This in following on from a previous reseach programme done between MultiTime and Adelphi University of New York. That study found that that there is a direct connection between employee morale and the provision of flexible working hours/flextime.

Our study shows that :-

a) when the organisation first recognises the work:life conflict that employees now have in a modern working environment and then shows it will make a crucial intervention so as to provide flexible working hours as a support mechanism for the employee

then

b) the employee will “reciprocate” with a new and more positive attitude to work and to the workplace.

This reciprocation can be concious or otherwise. However, the main point is that it results in advantages that flow from having flexible working as covered on this web site e.g. reduction in absenteeism, overtime and improved staff retention.
