CDL is open to flexi-work arrangements for employees as this provides work flexibility in response to employees’ family needs and allows them to manage their time more effectively.

CDL employees can choose to start and end their work hours within management-set limits. 33 percent of the staff have opted for this flexible arrangement. This scheme enables employees to meet family and personal commitments as they can choose work-hours that best suit their needs. This scheme removes the problem of staff reporting late to work and, instead, enhances their productivity and motivation. The company’s Work-Life Committee and Human Resources Department were responsible for developing the policy, guiding principles, the administrative and IT structure and the application and evaluation process. An atmosphere of trust and teamwork have contributed to making the scheme a success; and employees and their supervisors have given positive feedback. Based on the results of a 2007 survey, employees reported an increase in staff satisfaction as they are able to better balance the demands of work and home life.
