Flexible schedules and other negotiated arrangements may affect teams' success—for better or worse

Employees often work out special arrangements with their bosses that are tailored to their individual needs or circumstances. For example, in recent years, there has been a noticeable increase in requests for greater schedule flexibility. For those able to work remotely it could be a hybrid schedule or a fully remote one, while for others it could be flexible hours that allow them to arrive to work later or leave earlier to drop off or pick up their kids from daycare.
