What is flex work?

Flex work is a holistic suite of workplace policies, allowing commuters to avoid travel during peak commute hours.

What are flex work policies? 

• Telework/Remote Work: allows employees to skip a commute trip and work remotely, either from home or another location.
• Flexible Scheduling: shift commute trips out of peak commuting hours (aka rush hour) to avoid congestion on roads or transit.
• Compressed Work Week: allows an employee to work a traditional 35-40 hour workweek in less than the traditional number of workdays.
• Satellite Office: establishes a work location that is physically separate from an employer’s main office, shortening or simplifying commute trips for a nearby concentration of employees.

What are the benefits of flex work?

Research says overall workplace flexibility is a great employee benefit that improves the work-life balance of employees and reduces turnover.
