Question

Flatter organizational structures, employee empowerment, flexible work schedule, and job specialization are some current trends in organization and job design.

Which one trend can benefit you most as an employee? What challenges might management face when implementing this trend?

Answer 1

Flexible work schedule is the one trend which would benefit me most as an employee. As that would make to work as per my suitable time. This would also benefit me with maintaining a good relationship between work and personal lives, where I can spend some quality time with my family and can work as per my preferred time to work. It would certainly motivate me and work with more dedication to give my best.

Some of the challenges which the management might face to implement this trend are:

1. Management won’t be sure about the manpower at a certain time period
2. Employees may emphasize on one specific time slot to work, leaving the manpower capacity in other time slots very little.
3. It would be tough for managers to manage such employees, and do the monitoring if required.
