关于我在人力资源的角色——About my role in HR
I joined ESNAAD 10 months ago as an office administrator in the HR&A manager's office, few months later I was transferred to Employee Relations to work as an "Employee Relation Assistant" where I started to look after a number of tasks and responsibilities which are explained below: The basic functions is to process and follow on a variety of employee relation activities especially recruitment, termination, leaves, loans, medical checkup, transfers, casual labor, various non employee payment. In addition, maintain all personnel filling system with relevant data such as letters, employee certificates, qualification details, salary details, other personnel and administrative data. Updating e-archive filling system accurately and timely with necessary employee's personal data and maintain statistical data for all kind of updates is also another major responsibility of mine. 处理任务——Handling the task In this assignment I will investigate the flexible working practices in ESNAAD. and I will try to measure the effect of applying the flexible working practice to the employees , management and line managers of ESNAAD company . 工作灵活的定义——Flexible working definition: A generic term for employment practices that differ from the traditional norm in terms of the hours worked the length of contract, or the place of work. Flexible working practices can be divided into three categories: those that give flexibility in the management of time through flexible working hours program such as flextime or shift work; those that allow employers to adapt to peaks or trough in demand through numerical flexibility regarding the place of work, for example, teleworking.
Flexibility' covers any variation in working hours other than the standard 9.00 am to 5.00 pm working day. The key variants are: flexible working hours; term time working; annual hours; job sharing; voluntary reduced work time; employment breaks; and sabbaticals. These are defined in the glossary of terms.
Advantages of flexibility is recruitment and retention of qualified staff who may not be able to work traditional hours. Equality of opportunity: standard hours often prevent women with caring responsibilities or the disabled from working. Flexible working hours: reduce problems of punctuality and of disciplining staff for late arrival also to reduce one day absenteeism: staff can use flexi-time to deal with minor crises or personal appointments, create a greater sense of responsibility and better time management and to improve efficiency in core times and reduce overtime. Annual hours working: to reduces overall number of hours worked and overtime increases productivity by making it easier to manage seasonal variations in work. Job sharing: job sharers can be more energetic, committed and fresher than full time employees, greater continuity in cases of sickness or leave. Flexible working hours: can encourage people to count the minutes rather than doing the job. Term time working: can be difficult to provide cover for senior staff during holidays. There are many advantages to flexible working, such as gaining a better work - life balance while still being able to earn a living. Continuing to work while caring will also give you the chance to have social interaction outside of your caring role. 工作和生活的平衡——Work life balance: Work -life balance is about organizations identifying with their staff to determine how both can benefit from a more imaginative approach to working practices. Everyone has a range of interest an responsibilities that are separate from their work situation. Staff may have children or other caring responsibilities or want time to pursue other commitments and interests. Helping staff to achieve the best balance between home and work can make a real difference to both individual staff and to the business of the university. Work life balance is about people having a measure of control over when, where and how they work. It is achieved when an individual's right to fulfilled life inside and outside paid work is accepted and respected as the norm, to the mutual benefit of the individual, business and society. Flexible working doesn't necessarily mean doing part-time hours. You may be able to work the same number of hours but at times that suit you, for example, weekends or evenings. Or you could opt for compressed hours or home working. Flexible working can cover a wide range of possibilities, which means that you can plan a way of working that suits you. it may be that starting and finishing work at different times, only working during term time , part -time working or job sharing would be most helpful . You could think about compressed working hours. For example, you work the equivalent of five days hours over four days, giving you an extra day free. Flexible working hours: can encourage people to count the minutes rather than doing the job Also its allow employees to choose within set limits the times they start and finish work and normally allow them to carry over any excess or deficit in hours beyond the accounting period (usually four weeks) with the option of taking flexi-leave. Here in ESNAAD company , the flexible working policy goes as the following : Working pattern should suitable with the requirement of the department.#p#分页标题#e# The annual leaves for ESNAAD employees contain 36 days a year and it's not include the week end days, (Saturday , Friday ). No overtime given to the employees during the probation period . The flexible working opportunities can benefit everyone -employers and their families.

Any comments or suggestions
The above chart shows the results of survey done on ESNAAD flexible working practices, around 30 employees were participated in this survey from different Divisions and Departments, such as (Base Operations, HR&A, Finance, IS&T and Business Support). The blue bars in the graph (above the 0 line) show positive indications or agreement, where as the red bar show the negative side or disagreement. The green area at the back illustrates the average satisfaction level of the participants.
From the graph we can notice that the majority of the employees participated in the survey were satisfied from the flexible working practices system applied in ESNAAD and they are aware of the different working practices in the system. More than 85% of the participants believe that the flexible system helps them in their jobs and allows them to enhance their performance and their productivity. The graph shows the also that flexible working hours and exit passes are the most practices used the company. Although the majority of employees were satisfied from the flexible system, over 40% of them said that ESNAAD should re-consider its flexible working practices system and modify it in order increase the performance of individuals. A very impotent observation that the study shows is that 100% of the employees have no problems in using the flexible system, means that the management level do fully understand the right of every employee in the company to get the benefits of the flexible working system. 工作灵活的优点——Advantages of flexible working : Overall flexible working practices are considered as a very effective tool to increase employees' level of satisfaction and as a result of that helps retaining them. For example, one clear advantage to flexible work timing is the ability to arrange your workday around personal obligations. For instance, instead of working the traditional 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. shift, you can work from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. and use the extra hour after work for appointments or other personal matters. According to the Human Resource department, other benefits of a flexible time include increased productivity and satisfaction, and decreased absenteeism, overtime hours and employee turnover. 缺点——Disadvantages : The downside to a flexible schedule is that the responsibility for time management is more pressing, especially if working from home. Supervisors and other employees are also not around to answer questions or keep you on task. Finding a balance between work and family time can be difficult as well when the office and the home are the same place. When working at the office, but with flexible hours, difficulties can also arise. If arriving earlier than most, it may be hard to stay on task without direction from supervisors or co-workers. While many find that flexible work hours increase productivity, this really depends on personal motivation and the workplace environment. 总结——Conclusion : The flexible working hours can help organization by provide a very simple way and direct for the employees who is working in ESNAAD company, to feel or to increase satisfaction to the employees by : Exit pass - with a line manager approval Keep a line manager ability to be understood of how to make the flexible working effectively. Permission in and out. 建议——Recommendation : In my opinion our flexible hours is suitable. We need to create a new network that allow the employees to work at home to reduce the pressure as a part of encourage the flexible work hours.
However, before considering this options , the management should consider the cost of IT for employees to use the network at home .
Above all , the employees will be trust to the company and will be more satisfaction and employee productivity will be increase. That will be enhanced as the company and will be considered as a good company to work.
