Companies also gain from having a larger staff of flexi-workers. A larger personnel may cost less than the lost revenue brought on by empty shifts. Employers would also have a simpler time finding replacements for rostered workers who had last-minute illnesses or other urgent needs.
Many shifts of a flexi-time and flexi-load workforce result in longer business operating hours per workday, which increases potential revenue-earning capacity.
Accepting employees ‘ flexi-work calls may lead to employee loyalty, which in turn leads to lower turnover, which in turn leads to lower hiring costs. Fewer time would be wasted constantly onboarding and training new hires.
SUPPORT FOR FLEXI-WORK BUSINESSES TO PROVIDE FLEXI-WORK
Utilizing flexi- work advantages employees and employers. In order to allow for flexi-work arrangements, the Singapore government has been supporting businesses with grants like Workforce Singapore’s career makeover grant.
Additionally, there are a number of systems that businesses can use to help flexi-work environments for deskless employees. Examples include rostering software for businesses to organize and manage their staff’s schedules, as well as wireless learning systems for personnel training.
Employers and employees have a symbiotic relationship. Without people, there is nobody to do the job, without companies, there is no task to begin with. It is never “us” opposed” them”.
Flexi- labor for every employee, whether deskbound or deskless, no simply makes for a more diverse Singapore, but is also good for business.
