Topic: Flexible Work Schedule - page 4. (Read 954 times)

Flexible working schedule can be a good one but still that depends on the type of work you are up to for the reason that not all works can be suitable on working just by staying home due to the reason that productions and other essential things do need work force being carried out personally and in need to allot time and effort to finish the task. Now in the situation we are currently up to, flexible working schedule are being established and implemented on some field amid with the presence of current situation of the pandemic. We are already in a year within the situation and what I can say that this works on just doing fine for we have survived a year of pandemic dealing with flexible working schedule because what the important thing is that we can still work into our jobs to be able to earn money through it.

That's a better coverage of working schedule. I hope that someday that most of the corporation will adopt that kind of working schedule. Because most of the companies today are looking at the day to day progress of every employee. While the task that can be done for the whole day can be done by a few hours, they want to spend the whole remaining 8-9 hours of that employee staying on the office hours. I've also heard a company that you have mentioned about your friend's working schedule and most of the employees are very productive and happy, that's real work and life balance.

I also think that we should be given the option to choose, pandemic or not. For me particularly, my internship is currently conducted remotely, which I adore, it's a 20-minute drive to get there, working from home is saving me time and money. When the lockdown measures are eased, I'll have the option to either continue from home, or work with physical presence. I'll choose the first option.

In order not to deviate from your target accomplishments, before the start of your work schedule, the objectives should be very clear. So you know, you will be working on those particular objectives. It is easy to lose your focus if you don't know what you are trying to achieve. But if you know where you are heading, you can strategize how to achieve those targets. So even if you take a break during that time period, you still have your goals in mind. This is really good for those people who can work from home. But this is not for people who need to do their job in the laboratories, or construction sites. They need their actual expertise to do the job.

A flexible work schedule is really good but it still depends on your work, I have a friend who has a flexible work schedule because his work needs only a quota for one week and if he already reached that one for only 2-3 days then he doesn't need to work anymore and the payments would cover the 7 days and all those who work from how can also have the flexible hours because they can still do something at their home while working as long as it won't affect their job.

Flexible work is wonderful. As you say, we can work at any time, any place, and on any day. Everything is apparently up to our own decision. It makes you become more creative, gives you freedom and joy. However, it also has side effects. If you are a lazy person who only expects people to give you work and yell at you all the time, flexible work will make you less productive

Thus, in order to effectively utilize flexible work, you need to be disciplined and consistent. Make your own rule and try not to violate it. The less violation you make, the more successful you become. Being disciplined actually the key to achieving almost everything in your life. It has led many people become millionaires or even billionaires

With this new setup, if you are a family man you'll be loving this as you are able to watch on your kids while you are working, if the compensations are just the same surely you'll be able to save a lot.

Online job really brings comfort you'll just need to work on it and along the way you'll see all the benefits physically and mentally
plus financial aspect as well.

It is quite important that we realized it's a personal preference thing if we want to, and it could not be something that business should force us to do. If a person does his job at home and he does his job without any problems, he could stay at home and do whatever he wants without a problem.

If there is a person who wants to go to office, that means he could go to office, there won't be any problems with neither of them as long as people do their job. I have seen plenty of people who got fired at office which means they were a bad employee and I have seen a lot of projects where people from all over the world got together and built something great at the comforts of their home. It shows you that some things could be done from home as long as workers are willing to do their part. Of course that is not going to mean that we should all stay at home, some jobs require you to go, like how can you be a chef at home? You have to go to restaurant, but the ones that can stay should have that option.

Many though about the latest process will remain but since majority of employer want to see their guys physically and same as you I believe when we get things back to normal we will get things in the same form but what good thing here is we learn something new which gives us oportunity to earn side incomes and for starting up they shouldn't exchange their main to their side income not unless this gives them a good true potential and give them long term stability.

It's definitely not a panacea, although Covid-19 taught us that some activities, can actually be done from the comfort of our own house, having several advantages in the process. What is also frustrating me is what you just mentioned, after the current crisis, how are we going to return to our daily habits?
I highly believe that some things will remain the same, even after the pandemic.

Of course, flexible work will increase productivity and be able to manage our own time, because we will know whether the body is in prime condition or not.
and when the body is in prime condition we can choose the time to get the job done well no matter how much work is done because the body is in top condition.
and flexible work which I mean can be at home or at the office depending on the job, and there is an advantage of working flexibly at home is that it can save expenses and so on.

Really, online platforms are very flexible for workers and users. It saves lot of time, energy, money etc. It increases the output of work and allow people to do multi purpose at a time. One can handle his important work in his free time and so on. So I like most the time we passing in home with work.

Your points may be valid if looked at the real life situation that it may lead people to be lazy or inefficient  but what about giving them goals and target to deliver if working from home?  You see that they will perform and deliver.

On virtual meetings, is it not better than not having any at all?  

I am another person who believe in to work from home,As you mentioned that fuel expense and time can be saved if work from home but i think rather than both traffic and noise pollution produce anxiety and can kill anxiety to work from home.I am thankful BitcoinTalk forum and its respectable members i learn how to trade and how to be own boss.I am honoured that i also invited many from my circle to this forum and now they are independent and earning handsome to support their families.

I think it is obvious that flexible work hours would make people a lot more productive, give them their home comfort and give them a task and they will do it a lot better. However rich people wouldn't want that, why would they want a world where people have a lot of free time, there would be time to change things, arrange organizations to go against them, make meetings, and it will be easier to ask for more as well.

If you make people wake up at early hours, work until 6, commute to wherever a meeting is done and come back home that will be at least 22:00 by the time they get home. Many people spend those times to live within the comforts of their home but if they are always at home they wouldn't be able to do that.

Make sure to write about this part of work force, hours are not important because back in the day when 8 hours a day 5 days a week thing was wanted, almost all business owners said it would bankrupt every business and create insane amount of unemployment, we did it and nothing changed for the business' at all.

Personally I believe that for every job there can be some average working conditions. Let me explain, if you are bus driver you cannot even think to work from home and hence you must have shifts in which you do your task whereas if you do software development it's really up to you on how to determine the effort needed to complete a task.
For all the jobs the fall in the second category, working by objectives with flexibility is the way to go.
To put it simply, we should be starting valuing time more in terms of what can be done in certain time-frame rather then thinking that a certain task can be done in one hour.

Flexible work hours seems like a great dream, if only it's implemented well.
I know that it might work for some people, but there are still many cases as well where flexible work hours mean 24/7 hours without stopping. I see a lot of those during this pandemic. Just because they're asked to work from home, the boss seems like forget their normal work hour. Telling them to work whenever and wherever without any limitation again. I feel bad for my friends because of that. But of course i think flexible work hours is great and will make people more productive as well, lessen the burden and also stress, since people can't always work 24/7, and still expect them to function and be productive. A flexible yet effective working hours will be great, rather than countless working hours without any productivity.

About flexible hours, some personal thoughts, sometimes based on personal experience

First, let's define - most likely we are discussing the current situation. Most likely, it will leave a very serious imprint, and will actually lead to a change in the labor market and the organization of the work process as a whole. And "flexible hours" will be one of the consequences of the pandemic.

Flexible schedule, remote workplaces - this is the first part, the second is the automation and virtualization of many standard and familiar processes for us, which will also affect some positions and processes by itself.
Now about the most "flexible schedule". I am from the IT field, and, for example, in my project group, there is a rule that has been working for a long time, much earlier than the pandemic began - the main goal, the process is not so important. No, this does not mean that everyone can do anything, it means that everyone achieves the goal in the most convenient way, but without violating the rules, principles and laws I do not see the need for a person to work in an office "from 9 to 18 o'clock leaving the office ", it is important for me that it is comfortable for him and that he does his job well. Of course, in compliance with the terms and quality. At the same time, a free schedule is an additional motivation for staff - they feel freer, they feel trust, they feel responsibility! Therefore, the "flexible schedule", in my area, is quite effective. But most likely it is not acceptable in some areas - surgical medicine, the police, the operator at a nuclear power plant or hazardous production, and many others - where the presence at the workplace is necessary and caused by high risks from the actions or inaction of personnel.

For me, working from home is the best thing that happened ever since I started working. Previously I used to spend at least 2 hours every day on commute, and even more time on getting myself ready (need to wear formal dress, as I am working in the insurance sector). Also, I will be exhausted once I reach home after all that travel and need some time to recuperate. Now for the last 12 months, I am working from home and my manager has told me that my productivity has increased. I just hope that they will continue with this setup for the rest of the year.

I've experienced to work regular hours, WFH and compressed work week. But I would say that I love compressed work week more. I don't know, but I can take off like 3 days or even 4 days when I have that kind of schedule.

Sometimes I have to work 50 hours or more per week, then there are days that I just log 30 hours ++. Unlike the repetitive 9-5 hours and then WFH which I got distracted before obviously you are working from the comfort of your home and sometimes you can't focus 100% on what you are doing. This is just my opinion.
