How to Maintain Productivity with a Flexible Work Schedule

Here is what needs to be done in managing a flexible work schedule:

• Incorporate communication and project management software: This keeps teams updated about who is doing what and how much work has finished.
• Foster a virtual environment of collaboration: Collaborative teams produce more productive outcomes.
• Offering great support to employees, in providing direction and resources contributes
• Focus on employee recognition and motivation.
• Promote boundaries and work/life balance.

• Don’t allow employees who prefer higher guidance.
• Don’t exclude employees for no reason. Employees engage more with the organization when they are treated fairly by the employer.
• Don’t be adamant about timings. Flexibility in working not only means permitting employees to work from home but also involves giving liberty to them to choose their work hours
• Don’t stop considering employees who are not in the office. If the employees do not get information on the organization’s decisions and performances, they feel lost in the working environment.
