You must write about: 

and any other points that you think are important. 

First, a big plus for the employee is that he gets an opportunity to regulate his own working process. In essence, he regulates the beginning of the work day and its completion.

Secondly, it gives the company an opportunity for divided teams to communicate more. Large companies have offices in different locations, and it is not easy for employees to communicate with each other because of the time difference. 

In fact, it may seem that there are advantages to flexible working times, but there are also minuses. The employee needs to build their work processes correctly, so as not to give in to the lure of doing personal things. The company needs to develop a corporate culture so that employees would understand the responsibility assigned to them. 

In my opinion, working in a company with flexible working time gives the employee an opportunity to balance work and time off more easily. Life becomes much easier with the ability possibility to manage morning and evening hours. Living in big cities, people often forget that time is a very important currency. And if the company allows you to use it to the maximum benefit, it is really worth it a lot.

 

One thing to consider is a COVID-19, which forced organizations to adapt quickly to remote work options. And that was the first time when most people faced managing their work hours as well.

So, let’s start with advantages. Firstly, if you plan your work carefully, you will be able to do more, and it will take you less time (p.s. and customer money). And as a result, it allows employees to get to the doctor, stop for a haircut. In other words, allows us to get more time for domestic chores. Apart from that, the capability to work is increasing. In my opinion this effect can happen in the case of flexible managing. You can change the time you start or finish work! Sounds good?

Besides, around half of employees now work flexibly in some form, others say they want flexibility in their next position. If you ask me:  do we have any minuses in this system? Sure. Working from home can be really hard for people whose who have some neighbors. I’d say that every home worker in finding of needs to find a solution for that. In additional addition to this, you will not have enough offline communication, which can raise team spirit.

To sum up, everyone should decide, which approach is the best for them. For me, you need to try both methods.

To begin with, there are a lot of benefits of flextime for employees and employers. The flextime system can allow you to be more productive. You can work in the most convenient time for you. You have more free time, and you can plan your working day as you wish. Also, you will feel happier and more active. In additional addition to this, employers have benefits of flextime. They spend less money on the office’s bills, their employees spend less time on the working place.

Anyway, there is nothing without drawbacks in our world. The flextime system has some of them too. For example, if you work in a big team, it might be a bit difficult to be sync in together and work at the same time. It is not good as both for employees as and for employers, because the speed of the working process can fall.

If you ask me, I would like to work with using flextime. It’s more suitable for me. I like getting up when I want and choosing the most convenient time for working.

Finally, I would like to say that the system of flexible working hours become is getting more widespread, but it’s up to you to work with such a system or not.

To begin with I should mark the main benefits of working flextime. Firstly, it is ability a possibility to regulate your work time on your own. You can mix different needs for you with work to make a good plan for a day. Secondly, you are more free in time when to start your work day and when to end it.

On the other hand, it is hard sometimes to have correct the right border between personal life and work and in addition to this if you are working in a big team it will be harder to communicate with each other due to different working hours. 

As for me working flextime gives many opportunities to create a very good balance between work and life. But it is specific to everyone.

First, you need to understand if a flexible schedule is right for you. Agree, this is a lot of advantages for both employees and management. Employees can plan their working hours more easily and use breaks more flexibly. Employers get a more productive employee. In addition to this a company can offer this opportunity as an additional benefit to attract the right employee.

Apart from that, flextime system has some disadvantages. Despite the flexibility of time, it takes more to work than when working from bell to bell. Besides, you work at home very often and your environment does not change. Also, family or animals may be distracting at home.

In my opinion, flexible hours are better than fixed hours. I’d say that working on a flexible schedule is convenient if the company leaves an employee the right to alternate work from home and work in the office.

Finally, weighing all the pros and cons, each employee chooses where he can work more productively.

One thing to consider is that you can choose your working hours. For example, start your day early and as a benefit end it early as well. Or start later, if you are a night owl and prefer sleeping. If you ask me , I enjoy changing my work schedule , I do a lot of domestic chores before work while I am at home alone.

Especially in the IT sphere, this is becoming so popular, there are customers and teams from all over the world, and it is becoming easy for employers to provide communication between them. On top of that, a team can shift its working hours and not hold meetings outside of core hours.

In fact, I think that if people could manage their time wisely, they would get all the benefits of flexible hours. But there are people who work longer hours, do overtime, and suffer from life-balance work-life imbalance and burnout as a result.  Besides, sometimes the team cannot immediately hold meetings on hot issues, because team members have different working hours.

To sum up, the world is evolving and flexible hours are the next step and we should take full advantages of it. Moreover, employers are aware of all the disadvantages of a flexible schedule and now creating internal courses and seminars about keeping work-life balance as well as managing working hours.

Now it’s your turn to answer, is it a benefit or a punishment?

 

To begin with, employees can better manage their time around all their tasks. You can work early in the morning or late in the evening, or even at night. The main thing is that tasks are completed on time. 

 

Besides, distributed teams work in different countries with different time zones. It’s especially common in IT companies. The main factors of successful activity are online communication and meetings. Very often meetings start after 6 pm. A flextime allows you to start working later and also finish later.

 

Apart from that, the core hours system disciplines employees. Also, you have a permanent schedule every working day. You are absolutely sure that your every evening will be free from work and you can plan some kind of event.

 

To sum up, some people like working in a flextime system, others prefer core hours. I'd say that it doesn't matter which system you work in on. The main thing was is comfort for employees and employers.

To begin with, there are several benefits for employees such as time management and scheduling for personal needs. In my opinion, it is a great advantage if you are a student who needs to learn at university in the mornings. You have the opportunity to work whether in the evenings or on at weekends. Also, if you have several different activities simultaneously. For instance, you are not only a professional athlete, but also you have a Ph.D. in philosophy. A person with such a schedule is most likely to keep feeling productive and motivated as well.

However, there is the opposing opposite side of the medal. Countless employers are unable to provide flexible working arrangements because of the widespread mandatory meetings during the core time. This situation could inevitably deprive you of essential work information, which could lead to happening making deals in improper ways. Apart from that, losing a touch with colleagues or business partners who tend to work the conventional system. To this point, employers consider setting measurable goals to ensure that employees understand what is expected of them.  In From my point of view, employees and employers are forced to develop a level of trust for a flexible working system.

To sum up, it turns out the system of flexible working hours isn’t as straightforward and enjoyable as it looks? I think a lot depends on the type of activity as well as a living style of a person. Nevertheless, it is necessary to be responsible in the allocation of working time, you are paid for it.

First, flexitime for employees is the possibility to plan the working day in accordance with the body's capabilities. It is an opportunity to solve some family problems without harming work. Flexible working hours allow you to do some work from home, so you can easily stay home if it’s necessary.

Apart from that, a flexible schedule has advantages not only for employees but also for employers. The employees’ productivity grows due to the fact, that they can choose a convenient time for work.

But no nothing is perfect things: there are some disadvantages of the flexible system. And the main of this it is the abuse of freedom and as a result, missed deadlines, decreased quality of work, loss of customers, and a profit decline. Besides, some difficulties can appear during solving some tasks, that required teamwork.

In my opinion, flexitime is a very attractive benefit, especially for women who have got the children and want to combine childcare and work. As for me, flexitime makes my life a lot easier. I’m sure, that I’m with my family when it is necessary, and I can do my job without being overdue.

All in all, if employees are self-disciplined and responsible, flexitime will benefit both sides: employers and employees. And a good manager can solve some problems connecting connected with team building.

This is an important opportunity for parents.

What are the disadvantages in of flextime? You have to be aware of  it before starting planning your new life. Flextime is a lot of responsibility.

But it is right a reason way to burnout at work.
 
 Let me give you a couple of tips. Planning your time carefully. All your day should be included in your schedule. Besides, scientists have proven that short breaks every hour have a good effect on concentration. For example, reserve time for rest and domestic chores in advance. If it possible grope your daily tasks by activity areas, it can help you stay on one context and resolve it faster. In my opinion, work has to have a time border. Scheduling some mandatory activities after work helps me finish work on time. I often meet with friends or do fitness after work.
