Flexible Schedules and Remote Work

SUMMARY - Flexible Schedules and Remote Work

Rigid work schedules and mandatory physical presence at centralized workplaces don't accommodate human diversity. Health conditions that vary day to day, caregiving responsibilities that don't fit 9-to-5 patterns, disabilities that affect energy or commuting—these and other factors make flexibility essential for many workers. The pandemic demonstrated that remote work was feasible for many roles previously thought to require physical presence, potentially opening opportunities for people previously excluded from the workplace.
