Flexible Working Schemes

One of the most challenging scheduling issues in a demand led business is to ensure the optimum match of the workforce to a varying demand. This is further complicated by peak periods and discrete events, often resulting in expensive, inefficient temporary recruitment and premium overtime payments. A practical approach lies in the adoption of a flexible working scheme. Although viewed by many as challenging, if implemented properly the rewards can be high for your employees, your customers and your business.

The benefits are clear for all concerned. For your employees these include consistent pay, more free time, increased flexibility, more control over leave planning and improved work life balance. Your business will benefit from the elimination of premium overtime, having a static monthly salary bill, reduced absenteeism and a hugely simplified budgeting process. Most importantly, your customers can expect an increased and more consistent service level and the availability of more skilled staff to meet their particular requirements.

Most importantly, LSI will develop a change management and implementation programme that assures a smooth adoption and execution.
