Flexible or adjusted work schedules, also known as alternative scheduling or modified hours, allow employees to vary their start and end times or work non-traditional hours to better fit their personal needs. This accommodation supports individuals who face challenges with standard 9-to-5 hours due to health conditions, caregiving responsibilities, or transportation issues. By adapting work times, it promotes improved productivity, reduced stress, and a better work-life balance. Flexible scheduling is especially helpful for those managing chronic illnesses, disabilities, or mental health concerns, offering a practical way to maintain consistent employment while addressing daily challenges.
Start by discussing specific scheduling needs with HR or supervisors to find mutually agreeable hours. Clearly define core hours or availability to maintain team communication. Use shared calendars and regular check-ins to track progress and adjust as needed. Regularly review the arrangement to address any challenges and update schedules based on changing needs or workload demands.
Disclo streamlines requests, documentation, and tracking for Flexible or Adjusted Work Schedule or Scheduling, so HR teams and employees spend less time on paperwork and more time working productively.
