Flextime, short for flexible time, is a work arrangement that allows employees to choose

the start and end time for their workday. As employees seek a better work-life balance,
flextime offers an opportunity to better manage their time. However, flextime may
mandate that employees be in the office during certain hours to accommodate
customers and allow for meetings and collaboration.

Many companies offer a flexible work schedule to help employees better balance their
personal and professional lives. Having flexible hours helps improve productivity and has
the potential to increase an employee's job satisfaction. Understanding what flexible
hours entails can help you determine whether this type of schedule suits you and your
work and personal life. In this article, we define flexible hours, explain how they vary by
industry and provide you with a list of the pros and cons that come with this type of
work schedule.
What are flexible hours?
Also known as flextime or a flexible work schedule, flexible hours means you have different
start and end times for your workday than the standard 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Essentially, having
flexible work hours means employees can begin their work earlier in the day or later than the
originally set time.
Flexible hours tend to vary depending on a job's requirements, how the business operates
within its particular industry and the employee's particular preferences or needs. For example,
an employee can set their workday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., 11 a.m.-7 p.m., 10 a.m.-6 p.m. or any
other time that suits them. Keep in mind that the hours you work are an agreement between
you and your employer.

Leave Benefits (sorry I can find only one with related title)
Many companies offer leave benefits that allow employees to take time off from work
for various reasons. Leave benefits – whether paid, unpaid or partially paid – are
generally an agreement between the employer and employee, or employees
representative (such as a union).

Social Business (not sure first one is counted as definition but sry)
”SROI has already shown us ways we can improve: it provides a great way of making
sure that we manage our businesses to deliver the maximum social impact.”
– Sarah Dunwell, Chief Executive Officer, The CREATE Foundation CIC, Aug 2, 2016

Social business is a buzzword which is not really clear to most individuals. Contrary to
popular belief, social business is not the aspect of business which involves the use of
online social networks. It is rather a business strategy which is aimed at effectually
improving the overall performance in the individual businesses which employ it. Just as
its name suggests, social business encourages connectivity and active participation of all
the communities in a business.

Management supports
Management support systems focus on managerial uses of information resources. These
systems provide information to manage for planning and decision making. The
information provided by these systems is based on both the internal and external data
using various data analysis tools.
They also offer a choice to the user to select out of these tools for the purpose of data
analysis. These systems serve the information needs of managers at middle and top
levels in the managerial hierarchy.

Support from management is not just a matter of words. It means allowing workers to
develop and use their skills and abilities. Managers inadvertently signal a lack of support
when they fail to do this. Managers often fail to provide support in specific ways.
