Commuter Challenge I Telework

Compressed Workweeks
Compressed workweeks are an option where employees work a full-time schedule in fewer days. Employees who compress their workweeks are generally able to avoid the peak commute time each day by arriving early and/or staying late. Employers benefit from extended hours of customer service and production.

Flextime
Short for "flexible work hours," flextime refers to a work schedule that permits employees to choose their starting and stopping times within limits set by management. Like compressed workweeks, commuters who use flextime generally avoid peak commute times and have the flexibility they need to meet personal and family obligations—so employers generally see a reduction in tardiness and absenteeism. Here are some tools to help you start planning for and implementing flexible scheduling programs:
