As opposed to the popular belief that women,
especially working mothers, prefer workplace with flexible work hours, a
study has revealed that men too are increasingly opting for such
options. According to a survey by job portal TimesJobs.com, over 62 per
cent of the men stated that flexibility is indeed an important factor
for them in a job. About 45 per cent of organisations said that men are
largely using this option for child/family care, while 31 per cent use
it to study/upskill themselves. Over 80 per cent women use the flexi
option for child care and a mere 20 per cent use it to train/ upskill
themselves. "Changing socio-cultural dynamics and increasing trend of
nuclear families is seen as the primary reason behind the growing usage
of flexibility option by men, said nearly 66 per cent of the
organisations," the report said. Among the various flexibility
programmes being offered by organisations, part-time schedules and
flexi-time are the most widely offered work arrangements across sectors.
Close to 40 per cent organisations offer these programmes to its
employees. A combination of programmes tailored to fit employee's needs
is offered by 16 per cent of the organisations. Experts believe being
flexible creates an environment where employers and employees can look
at work and personal needs in a balanced approach, which is mutually
beneficial and close to 60 per cent of the organisations are likely to
implement more flexibility options in the near future. "Workplace
flexibility policy can lead to increased employee morale, increased
retention rate, higher commitment levels, reduced absenteeism and
increased individual and business output, provided it is effectively
implemented and managed," Xavient India Human Resource Director Deepika
Pillai said.
