Employees most prized summer benefits A survey done by OfficeTeam, an independent research firm, has shown what employees value the most when it comes to summer benefits. The results are based on telephone interviews with 457 workers 18 years of age or older, and employed in an office environment. а According to workers polled flexible schedules (38%) and leaving work early on Fridays (32%) are the most desirable summer benefits. а тАЬEmployees appreciate flexibility in their jobs because it gives them greater control and enables them to handle other commitments without sacrificing their work performance,тАЭ said Robert Hosking, executive director of OfficeTeam. A great way to keep employees motivated is flexible schedules.а Flexible scheduling is an inexpensive way. а To make sure that customer is not negatively affected, arrange the schedules of employees so that the maximum number of hours is available to run the organization efficiently and effectively. а тАЬCompanies should pilot flexible schedule programs before rolling them out permanently,тАЭ Hosking recommended. This gives organizations time to evaluate the impact on workflow and productivity. Another strategy that can be implemented instead of flexible schedules is to allow employees to leave early occasionally on Fridays.а Many employees plan weekend trips during the summer.а This strategy will allow employee to prepare and get a head start on their trips.а It will have a positive effect on morale. а When workers were asked, тАЬWhich of the following summer benefits would you most like to have?тАЭ а Their responses included: flexible schedules (38%), leave early on Fridays (32%), activities-e.g. company picnic, potluck (6%), more relaxed dress code (5%), other (4%), indifferent/no answer (15%). а Read more here Posted by: suhujitha on 2009-08-26 10:51:09 Subscribe to the feed Direct Link to this post Next post: High levels of burnout among UK family doctors, especially in group practice 2012-01-31 08:59:19 Other posts tagged flex time, benefits, performance, morale, motivation, productivity: · [If you plan, then you will accomplish... but it helps to have a friend] · [Second-guessing your decisions leads to unhappiness] · [Modern shift work pattern potentially less harmful to health] · [Sleep disorders affect 40 percent of Canadians] · [Calling nurses to exercise as role models for their patients] · [Stress and burnout in the ICU: who is at risk and how to alleviate it] · [People are more satisfied if they set ambitious goals as opposed to conservative goals] · [Easy to visualize goal powerful motivator to finish a race or a task] · [Researchers identify risk factors associated with development of different burnout types] · [Men who flirt at work are generally less happy with their job] · [Even minor levels of depression associated with reduced employee productivity] Don't forget: there is a search box on every page!
