Telecommuting, Flexi Hours and Part Time
Full-time support and administrative employees can choose to start their day any time between 7.30 am and 9 am. ABB does not require a formal tracking system as it believes in fostering an atmosphere of trust and responsibility. Flexi-time is particularly appreciated by employees who live far away or who have to ferry children to childcare centres before work. A percentage of staff have also opted for part-time employment. |
