What would you class as standard business hours?
Whilst there are still a large number of companies working 09:00 till 17:00, there is an increasing number adopting the flexible working ethos. Being in a position to enable your staff to work wherever, whenever, and however they need to puts your company in a much stronger position and quite likely ahead of your competition. Why is that?
Cost saving is one factor to take into consideration:
- How much does your company pay for office space?
- How much are the running costs and do you have any ‘overflow’ or ‘out of hours’ staff that could be working from home?
- How much on average do you pay in travel expenses to your staff?
- How much on average does each member of staff pay out in order to travel to the office?
Productivity is another factor to consider:
- What percentage of your staff travel between the hours of 08:00 & 09:00 then again between 17:00 & 19:00? Could these hours be better utilised?
- Are your field based staff productive between meetings?
- What happens if a client cancels the meeting en route?
- Do you believe there would be in increase in those on maternity leave returning to work earlier if they were given the flexibility to work around their family?
- How long do you spend waiting for an answer from a colleague or supplier, wondering if they are available or not?
If you take a look at a range of your staff, you will see the diversity of workers for example…
- Graduates
- Working parents
- Office workers
- Field based staff
- National and global workers
