How flexible is your company when it comes to hours?
In all my roles I've not worked more than set hours or every felt pressured to do so. All of my roles have been very flexible with hybrid work, with no real mandated requirements to be in the office. In R2 9-5pm was necessary due to the nature of the work - however, if I had an appointment I would have been able to be flexible with that. R1 and R3 have very flexible work hours.

They are pretty flexible. For instance, some of my team members do 9-5 while I like to come in at 7 and leave at 3, if there are no meetings or such after that time. Also, we get to WFH for two days in a week.

The company has flexible work arrangements that can be adjusted to fit the needs of the employee. When workload was higher and deadlines shorter, we would work longer hours but as a grad my manager would try and prevent me from staying too late. This was also compensated for during down times during the year where team members are encouraged to take time in lieu.

Hours are generally fair, with some variability when 'urgent' work arises. However, generally there is flexibility outside of urgent work to go to appointments, finish a bit early etc. when needed.

Due to my disability, I spend a maximum of 2 days in the office. Usually, it was not a problem to reduce the days in the office when required.

Within my team, there's a great culture of flexibility. Work from home/other office locations and ability to work hours which suit me are very much supported

We work three days together in the office. But it's flexible when it comes to people has family to care or other important things like medical appointments. Other two business days are optional.

Flexibility is taken as the norm. No questions about when you work from home or in the office. No difficulties taking time off when needed. Numerous people with flexible arrangements (eg, every second Friday off).

company is very flexible when it comes to in office hours, but that depends on the manager. there is a 3-day recommendation to be in the office, but I haven't encountered anyone enforcing it.

My company is very flexible when it comes to office hours, I have a base requirement of 3 days a week in the office but I have never had an issue with asking my boss for extra days from home, altering my usual days in the office or even doing a half day from home if I need it.

I work 36 hours a week, five days a week. There is no expectation that I take on unpaid over time. I have never had any issues changing my work hours to attend appointments during the work day. Other staff members are able to shift their working hours according to what suits their lives, for example, a lot of staff are able to come in a bit late or leave a bit early to assist with school drop offs and pick ups.

I like that work is flexible with hours just as long as the work gets done.

We're pretty flexible with our hours. If something happens that I have to work very late one day, then it's generally okay to go home early the next day to catch up on non-work time.
