At present all employees work from 8am to 5pm, with a total of one hour for lunch and other breaks. The building opens at 7:30 in the morning, and closes at 7 o’clock in the evening for those doing overtime.Under the new system, employees will work a minimum of eight hours, but they will have some choice about when they work. All staff must be at work in the office for a fixed period, from 10am to 4pm, with a total of 60 minutes for breaks. The building will be open between 7am and 9pm, and staff may plan their remaining work schedule to suit themselves, within those hours.We hope that this scheme will benefit employees with young families, and will give everybody the chance to avoid the worst of the traffic. We will try out the scheme for one month, and then we will send out questionnaires to assess employees’ opinions. Naturally it will add to our costs to keep the building open for the extra hours, but we feel this will be a good investment because it will bring benefits to our staff. 29.
