Flexitime allows employees to choose their start and end times within agreed limits. While flexitime is commonly seen as challenging for businesses and negatively impacting productivity, the context is important to consider. In some situations, like manufacturing that requires 24/7 support, flexitime is necessary. The biggest impacts on productivity come from strategy, leadership, and efficiency rather than flexitime itself. Depending on the job and company needs, flexitime can help retain talent without harming productivity goals.
