Flexible work models are here to stay, enhancing both productivity and employee well-being.

The labor market is constantly evolving and adapting to the new work models that have emerged today, with flexible work being one of the most discussed topics. According to data from Microsoft SMEs, in 2023, 55% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the country already operate with a hybrid work model, significantly driving the shift from traditional systems to one that balances freedom and productivity.

Flexible work aims to give employees the freedom to choose when, where, and how they work, as long as they meet their responsibilities and objectives. This concept of flexibility emerged after the lockdown, when companies had to move their workplaces to employees’ homes. This led to questions about whether it is effective or necessary to continue with the traditional work model.

Many companies that have adopted this model have observed positive changes in their employees’ mental health after this adaptation, such as:

Reduce Work Stress: By eliminating commutes, employees avoid the fatigue accumulated during travel and have more freedom to use travel time for personal needs.

Increase Productivity: Allowing employees to work during their most productive and creative times enhances overall output.

Lower Operating Costs: Companies can save on expenses related to office maintenance, such as rent, utilities, and office supplies.

Promote a Culture of Trust and Autonomy: Building trust based on results fosters happier and more productive work environments for all employees.

These benefits encourage workers to be more productive while maintaining their responsibilities, giving them the freedom to manage their own schedules. At Bindiva, we prioritize mental health and the holistic development of our team members to foster a much healthier work culture.
