Agile (Working Hours ? (Freedom Hours (Min hours (Flex min hours per Day…

- - - - Use exisiting time-sheet system to record which hours you worked on what days
        Presence in office not actively monitored - PLs and others to raise concern if it is creating problems for the project
    - - Do we need to mark time in calendar when we expect to be in the office?
        What happens when invited to a meeting the next day at, say 09:30 but you weren't planning on being there until 10?
        Do you need to mark this in advance - if so - how far in advance
        Is this too much admin for people?
        Just manage it yourself - assume people will be in office between 09:30 and
    - - Flex min hours per Day
        
        Pros:
        More chance of people being in office together each day
        Prevents people 'banking' hours to effectively work compressed week
        Cons:
        Doesn;t allow for people to recover any hours if working very long for some days
        Provides only limited flexability to manage pressures
      - Min hours hours per week
  - - - Project Wide
        
        Enables each project to set hours most appropriate for the client geography
        Give PL autonomy to manage their teams hours in a way that suits them (i.e. can increase or reduce hours)
        Means consultants working on the same projects will be in the office together more
        Create conflict between people working on multiple projects
        Need to limit to 09-17:30?
      - Company Wide
        
        Everyone should normally be in the office between 10-4 (say).
        Removes inter-group differences
        Lack of flexibility for certain projects (US based - where core hours may need to be 12-6 (say)) - might end up meaning some people cannot take advantage of them
        'Core hours' could lead some people to take this as the new minimum requirement as work outside these hours will not be as closely monitored
        Provides confidence that people will be available during the day to talk
    - - Use Existing Time-sheet system to record what hours on what days you worked
        How track that people are in the office at the right time?
        Leads to squeeze on meeting room availability
        What happens to meetings scheduled outside of these times - would this be seen as socially acceptable?
- - - - Unlimited
        
        How to prevent people spending all time away from office
        Low admin burden
        Maximum flexibility
        Reduces pressure/need for formal part-time?
        Update calendar with what project / tasks you are working on - PLs should know that you are not in and if so what you are working on
      - Up to X days a week
        
        Pros:
        Formalise office as normal place to work
        Limit number of people out of office
        Force people to schedule work from home in one block
        Forces more planning and scheduling
        Cons:
        Less Flexible - implemented solution might not actually be able to meet people's needs
        How to keep track of this?
        People view it as an entitlement rather than an option (cf unlimited vs fixed number of days holiday)
    - - Ad-hoc
        
        Pros:
        Maximum flexibility to handle short-term pressures
        Can be adapted as project needs change on daily basis
        Cons:
        People lose visibility on when everyone else will be in the office
      - Booked in Advance
        
        Pros:
        Better visibility to colleagues
        Makes organizing meetings easier
        Can better plan the work week with other collegaues
        Cons:
        Could lead to days being booked off far in advance - i.e. everyone books Friday off as work from home
