| Abstract: | The effects of a flexible-scheduling program on absenteeism and turnover were tested. The flexible-scheduling form is a procedure that allows employees to distribute their working hours; it allows more individual discretion as to when these hours are worked. There were gross reductions in employee absenteeism after the flexible-scheduling intervention. The two-year period after the program ended indicates that absenteeism immediately returned to base-rate levels. Employee turnover, however, was unaffected by the intervention. The concluding section discusses the problems in applying flexible scheduling to a large-scale organization. |
