In this report the managing director is considering putting flexible hours in place, in all head departments. Reasonable research was done, firstly they received some feedback from other companies that have those hours in place, then working out what everybody’s work schedule and hours would be, also to see if credit banking and hours recorded would work out. Most managers were keen to get the new hours up and running, they thought this would improve the working motivation around staff members. It was discussed that if timetables, training and consultations were to begin then flexible working hours could be successful.

The main purpose of this report is to persuade the working party to allow flexible hours to be introduced into all head departments, this was considered by many managers as a benefit to the company for eg ‘’Most departmental managers were in favour of introducing a flexible working hour system, anticipating an improvement in both productivity and staff morale’’. Investigations were followed out to find out if it would affect things in the working environment with staff members for example ‘’over 35% of female staff are mothers with children of school age and would probably welcome the opportunity to fit their work around family responsibilities and according to seasonal daylight hours’’ This means that this would make the company more family orientated which is more appealing to current or new employees.
The secondary purpose of this report is to inform the Board of Directors that there has been an investigation in the work place checking the possibility of having flexible hours put in place in all head departments. Many investigations were taken place such as ‘’Current office administration literature was reviewed, a number of companies were visited which have adopted flexible working hours systems and the views of a wide range of staff were canvassed, current departmental working loads and practices were observed and evaluated, soundings of likely staff responses were obtained from departmental managers and senior staff and the cost of introducing a flexible working hour system’’. These investigations were very informative and useful, as a result there were some recommendations from the working party such as staff training, working out timetables to suit new hours eg.
