"lexibility allows us to meet peak demands with reduced staffing costs." - Susan O' Brien, Vice President, Assistant Treasurer, GE Capital (2001) A 'Flexible' Workplace
HP India offered its employees almost all forms of flexible work options (FWO). It allowed its employees to work part-time or for flexible hours, especially young mothers. For instance, Sujata Sundaresan, a financial analyst at HP India, started working part time after maternity. HP India also allowed telecommuting, which allowed its employees to come to the office only for half a day and work from home for the rest of the day. Employees were also allowed to return to the normal schedule after working as per any of the flexibility options for a specified time period.
