What is Flextime?
Flextime: Letting employees choose when they work within limits.
Where Flextime fits
Flextime is part of Work & Pay in People & HR. Work and pay balance fairness and flexibility: wages, overtime, remote or hybrid work and the risk of burnout. High turnover is a costly warning sign.
Practical tip
Check workload, pay and flexibility before good people quit.
