Well-BeingĮverybody needs time to recover, rejuvenate and recharge in order to be successful and content. It shows that a company takes their employees’ personal time and matters into consideration. Flexible working hours, and the possibility to work from home make it easier to combine work and private life, without having to take extra time off. For many employees, it can oftentimes be difficult to arrange personal responsibilities outside of work. Our work schedule is not the only factor in our everyday lives. Team members who are able to show that they are eager to put in the work and effort according to their time schedule, can ease the team leads’ need to interfere, and will encourage the motivation to collaborate when necessary. If employees are happy and motivated, it minimizes the input needed from their team leads. Their overall motivation and engagement within the organisation increases when they have the freedom to choose.
Allowing employees flexible working hours can lead to more satisfaction, boost productivity and generally decrease the level of stress. Having more flexibility means that employees start their day whenever they feel they are most creative.
There is no formula that says when work can be achieved best. Team members who don’t feel as if they are constantly controlled, or micromanaged, will not only be more productive and motivated, but will also feel more valued by the company. Offering flexible working hours shows appreciation to employees’ commitment for the company. Here are some of the benefits SimScale has come across whilst allowing employees a flexible schedule: Feeling Valued In our opinion, without offering flexibility, we would be missing out on several benefits that directly impact every employee, their encouragement, and the business success as a whole.
