FLEXIBLE WORK ARRANGEMENTS

Flexible Work Arrangements

Many of the jobs in our network are perfect for those who desire more freedom and flexibility in their work arrangement. Types of positions include telecommuting or four-day work weeks. This can allow you to better balance your work and personal life and have more control over your schedule.

Tips For Negotiating A Flexible Work Arrangement

When meeting with a recruiter to discuss a flexible work arrangement, be sure to have a clear idea of what you are looking for. It can be helpful to provide specific examples of the hours or days that you would be available to work, as well as the types of tasks you would be able to complete outside of the office. If you already have a flexible schedule, be prepared to share how it has worked for you in the past.

Recruiters can be valuable resources when it comes to negotiating a flexible work arrangement. They may be able to connect you with other professionals who have successfully negotiated similar arrangements or provide advice on how to approach your manager about the idea. Additionally, recruiters can help keep you up-to-date on job openings that may be a good fit for your skills and schedule.

The Benefits of Working From Home

Working from home can be good for an employee in countless tangible ways. For starters, a worker can save on transportation costs because they don't have to commute to an office. Additionally, a worker can save on childcare costs if they are able to work while their children are home. Working from home also gives employees more control over their schedules, which can benefit those with family obligations or other responsibilities outside of work. Finally, working from home can help reduce stress by eliminating the need to commute and by providing a more comfortable work environment. 

For the employer, working from home can mean reduced office costs and increased productivity from happier and less stressed employees. Additionally, employers can attract a wider pool of job applicants if they are open to the idea of working from home.
