Implementation
Introducing flexi-time guidelines and procedures

In the final stages of implementing the flexi-time policy, the management should meet with the HR team to draft guidelines for flexi-time employees and their immediate supervisors. When doing so, the management should consider the non-negotiable elements such as maintaining productivity. It should also gather feedback from the concerns faced by employees to ensure that the guidelines clearly address those concerns.

The following tips for managing flexible working hours may help:

• Consider implementing a 'roster' system that indicates the days and times of work for all employees. This way everyone knows who is available when and can plan accordingly.
• Ensure that all staff in a team are aware of any staff working non-core hours. This will assist the team in managing workloads and deadlines expected from each worker.
• Develop and communicate simple guidelines for staff working irregular and non-core hours.
