Remote/working from home – the role can be worked from home, on a full or part time basis

Less office space required, less running costs, less distractions from co-workers

Hybrid – a mixture of office based and home working i.e. 2 days in office and 3 days from home

A nice mix of both to suit the employees and the needs of the business – less travel costs for the employee but ensures a team centric environment is maintained

Part time – i.e. 3 full days per week

Reduced wages to the employer, ability to maintain a work/life balance for the employee

Reduced hours – shorter hours but every day i.e. 9.30am – 2.30pm

Consistency of visibility in the business for the employer and employee but the ability to maintain a work/life balance for the employee.  Reduced wages to the employer. 

Condensed hours – full time hours worked over 3 or 4 longer days

Employee still receives full time wages but has the flexibility to work around other commitments. Employer can tailor to the needs of the business – for example if they are busier at the beginning of the week.

Job share – where two (or more) employees work part time and share the duties between them

Employers have two members of staff who can do the same job, and with the right combination, they can cover each others holidays etc.  Employer can offer flexibility and employees can work part time knowing that their work is done in their absence.
