Alternative Work Arrangements including Flexible Schedules

There are many reasons to offer alternative work arrangements that extend beyond individual departments and even beyond UNM. Consider these benefits that have been documented in other organizations after implementing alternative work arrangements:

Improved morale and reduced stress by giving staff more options to balance work and family demands
Increased customer service by expanding department hours
Decreased traffic and parking congestion, energy consumption, and air pollution
Retention of valued staff
Increased staff productivity
Better planning for staff absences
More time for personal pursuits and parental participation in schools

This guide contains information and suggestions for those interested in exploring the privilege of alternative work schedules. The suggestions offered are not the only work arrangements possible. We encourage you to contact the Division of Human Resources with other options you would like to explore.
