What type of work arrangement allows employees to choose their total workday while working during common core time?

Flextime is a work arrangement that permits employees to select their starting and ending times within a defined range, known as core hours. During this common core time, all employees are expected to be present, allowing for collaborative work and meetings. Outside of these core hours, employees have the flexibility to modify their schedules to accommodate personal preferences or obligations. This arrangement supports work-life balance and can enhance job satisfaction by giving employees more control over their work hours.

In contrast, remote work primarily focuses on the location where work is performed, allowing employees to work from locations outside of the traditional office setting. Job sharing involves two or more employees splitting the responsibilities of one full-time position, which doesn't pertain directly to the flexibility of choosing individual work hours within a day. A compressed workweek allows employees to work their total hours over fewer days, which doesn't address the flexibility of daily scheduling. Thus, while all the other options provide different types of flexibility, flextime specifically relates to the ability to choose work hours around a set core time.
