The Benefits of Having a Flexible Work Environment

One thing that the pandemic has done is create a more flexible work environment. With lockdown measures implemented, a lot of workers had to carry out tasks remotely, and the flexibility of this is something they greatly enjoyed.

As businesses start to open their doors again, you may be tempted to return to the stringent office 9 to 5 hours, but as a company that has worked remotely since its inception years before the pandemic began, we would recommend that you think again. 

Being flexible and allowing workers flexible time off can make a massive difference. Not only can it benefit your staff, but it can give your business a boost too! Read on to discover more. 

How the Traditional Work Environment Causes Stress and Strain

Do you make your employees bring in a doctor’s note whenever they have been off work? Do you give them points when they are at home sick with their children?

A lot of businesses do this, and it doesn’t yield any benefits. In the end, a lot of workers can end up dragging themselves to the workplace while they are unwell because they do not want to be penalized. 

Not only does this result in sub-par work, but other employees can end up getting ill as well, which can drastically reduce the productivity in your office.

Consider a Workplace Where Employees Thrive Off of the Honor Code Instead

Embracing flexible working and allowing your employees to take time off when required can make a huge difference. You create an environment that is based on trust. 

Your employees will be encouraged to work hard for you and make up the time they have needed off because you have been flexible and trusted them when they have needed it the most. 

This can actually increase your productivity levels, as your employees will continue tasks at home when they are able to and they will work harder when they are in the office. 

 

A Great Way of Attracting the Best Talent and Holding onto Your key Employees

By implementing a flexible working environment, you will be able to boost your retention levels. Employees will appreciate working for someone who cares about them. This can help you to hold onto your best talent!

Plus, you will be able to attract the best candidates to any positions that you have open in the future as well. They will see the sort of company culture you have created, and they will want to be a part of it!
