3 ways to make flexi-time work for your business

In today’s fast moving and high-pressure world of work, it is near impossible to maintain a modicum of balance. For entrepreneurs and employees at startups and SMMEs, working 12-hour days and over weekends is often par for the course. This leaves little to no time for family members, partners, and relaxing activities outside of work. And as we have seen, the consequences of such a relentless routine can be disastrous: ill health, broken families, burnout, etc.

Fortunately, however, new technology tools and platforms are now giving frazzled workers more options. Armed with smart devices and mobile connectivity, many employees can – in theory – work from anywhere, at anytime. Indeed, the concept of telecommuting and working partly from home is being widely embraced by forward-thinking managers and employers – who are increasingly realising that happy staff members are high performing staff members.
