What is a flexible work schedule?
A flexible work schedule lets employees vary when they work instead of keeping fixed hours such as nine to five. It often includes core hours when everyone is available, with freedom to start and finish earlier or later, and may be combined with flexibility in where people work.
Common types
- Flextime: flexible start and end times around core hours
- Compressed weeks: full hours in fewer days
- Hybrid schedules: set office days and home days
What it means for meetings
With flexible hours, the window for in-person meetings narrows to core hours and shared office days, which puts more pressure on rooms at those times.

Frequently asked questions
What are core hours?
The hours when everyone is expected to be available, such as 10 to 15.
Is a flexible schedule the same as hybrid work?
No. A flexible schedule is about when people work. Hybrid work is about where.
