Boost Productivity with Split Shifts and Flexible Schedules

Your company is worried about how it will remain productive now and in the future. At this point, consider split shifts and flexible schedules. When you do, you may quickly discover how these benefit your employees and your business. 

Reasons to offer split shifts and flexible schedules to your employees include:

1. Split Shifts and Flexible Schedules Lower the Risk of Employee Burnout. 

Your employees work long hours as they do everything they can to help your business thrive. Ultimately, you appreciate and value your workers' efforts. However, you are concerned about burnout. If your employees feel burnt out, they may suffer physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Plus, these workers may struggle to remain productive.

When you agree to split up work shifts and offer flexible work schedules, you protect your workers against burnout. Your employees can pick out shifts and schedules that work well for them. They can maximize their productivity when they're working. On top of that, they may be well-equipped to develop and maintain a healthy work-life balance moving forward.  

2. You Can Cut Down on Absenteeism. 

Each day an employee is unavailable hurts your business. If multiple employees miss work at the same time, your company may fall behind on its production. This can force your employees who are available to play catch up. If these employees rush to get their work done, they may make mistakes that wind up costing your business a lot of money. 

Split shifts and flexible schedules are great solutions to address absenteeism. Your employees won't have to stress about spending extended hours at work. Instead, they can work for a brief period, recover, and return the next day to work, ready to give 100% once again. 

3. You Can Extend Your Production Hours.  

In spite of your company's best efforts, your employees sometimes fall behind. When the work day ends, these employees want to return home, and rightfully so. Yet, if you extend your production hours, you may minimize the risk that your business can't keep up with demand for its products and services. 

With split shifts and flexible schedules, you can offer employees opportunities to work outside of standard business hours. Some employees may prefer these hours if they have children or want to work early in the morning or late in the evening. By extending your production hours, you can keep these workers happy. In addition, you may be able to engage with top talent who otherwise would not consider roles with your business.
