alternative work arrangements
Alternative work arrangements are flexible ways of organizing how and when employees work, beyond traditional full-time, in-office schedules. Examples include remote work, where employees work from home; flexible hours, allowing employees to choose when they start or end their day; part-time roles, with fewer hours than standard full-time positions; and job sharing, where two employees share responsibilities of one full-time role. These arrangements aim to improve work-life balance, increase productivity, and adapt to individual and organizational needs. They are increasingly popular as technology makes remote and flexible working more feasible and efficient.
