Flexible work is all the rage lately, with employers allowing, or even encouraging workers to telecommute, shift hours, split shifts or share jobs. Benefits for employers and workers are widely documented. Employers benefit when employees work hours and times when they
can get the most done
. Employees who avoid challenging commutes and have the opportunity to easily handle situations at home without interfering with work are generally happier and more productive.
