Flexible Work Arrangements

Telecommuting, Flexi Hours and Part Time

Mobility Programme. Close to 70% of IBM employees are on a Mobility Program, and all of our employees are telecommuting-enabled. This means the employees have access to mobility tools and processes that allow them to work anytime, anywhere. This empowers IBMers to better manage their work and personal life, as well as enabling faster response to clients, hence optimising productivity.

 

Each IBMer has individual Key Performance Indicators which changes as his or her role changes. Thus, performance is not based on face-time in the office. Other flexible work arrangements that IBMers may apply for include Flexi Hours, Part Time and the Work-Life Leave Programme.
