''Fixed working hours are an outdated concept: 71% of HR leaders agree that the traditional Monday-Friday, 9-to-5 workweek is no longer suitable for many employees. This shift towards flexible schedules reflects a growing recognition that humans prefer to rely on their own instincts and analyses, leading to higher productivity and creativity when given autonomy to work in a way that suits them best. By acknowledging the reality of life, including personal care, family needs, and other obligations, employers are adapting to provide humane perks such as flexible working hours, which can lead to increased job satisfaction and better outcomes for both employees and employers. The ability to choose how to get work done and when to work on specific tasks is a key benefit of flexible schedules, allowing individuals to play to their strengths and optimize cognitive work, ultimately leading to improved productivity and innovation.'
