Both late sleepers and early risers find the fixed hours of a nine-to-five work day a problem. Now there is an answer that seems to please them both. Employees of over 500 businesses, organizations and government agencies in the USA are changing their work hours to suit their individual needs. It's called“flexible time” ( flextime ) and it means, for example, that employees can start working at any time during the first three hours their offices are open and leave after completing their required daily working time. Early riders can began work at seven a. m., finish at three and still have daylight time for shopping, picking up children at school, or recreation. Late sleepers need not report for work until 10 a. m. — but they must stay on their job until six in the evening.
Says a Boston official, “Our employees like the system and tardiness( being late) has been virtually completely got rid of. Fewer people are absent, turnover has dropped markedly, and productivity and morale(士氣) have risen. ”
