Flexitime

/ˈflɛksɪˌtaɪm/ noun

Definition

A system of working hours where employees can choose when to start and finish work, as long as they work a set total number of hours.

Etymology

A British English word from the 1970s combining 'flex' (flexibility) with 'time,' created as companies began offering more flexible work schedules.

Kelly Says

Flexitime was revolutionary when it appeared in the 1970s because it challenged the assumption that all workers needed to sit at desks from 9-to-5—now remote work and flexible schedules are everywhere!
