Family Friendly New Mexico Recognizes Four Work Schedules Policies
Flexible work scheduling
Flexible work scheduling
Adjustable scheduling such as four ten-hour days or other schedules to accommodate personal commitments or conflicts. Employers that have implemented a flextime schedule often find it easier to retain their top performers while providing employees with the means to achieve a balanced life.
Job Sharing
Job Sharing
Job Sharing is when two or more part time employees share one full time position. 67% of managers and 94% of job sharers believe it has a positive impact on clients. It is great way to retain good employees; 87% of job sharers report that the ability to job share meant the difference between staying with a company or leaving (Pg 42, The job Share Project, 2011).
Telecommuting
Telecommuting
Telecommuting includes working from a remote location at least some of the time. Telecommuting is the new reality for many during the pandemic. In addition to some of the benefits of other flexible work arrangements, telecommuting is correlated with increased flexibility, increased performance, workplace satisfaction and economic savings.
Predictable scheduling
Predictable scheduling
Predictable scheduling encourages employers to provide at least two weeks notice of work schedules and/or premium pay for changes in work schedules made with short notice. When hourly workers have workplace flexibility, productivity increases and absenteeism decreases. Accommodating employees’ scheduling needs significantly reduced turnover.
