Beneath this information are directions on how to complete the assignment. Submit your work to this assignment drop box as a Word document.
Flextime is a system that allows employees to set their own starting and stopping times. Flextime is especially appealing to organizations that have a hard time keeping good employees or that cannot easily raise salaries. It is also appealing to companies with the philosophy of giving workers as much independence as possible. Most employees prefer flextime. However, in some organizations, flextime creates conflicts between workers who get the schedules they want and those who have to work traditional hours to cover the phones. Some firms are afraid that the quality of work may suffer if employees and supervisors aren’t on the job at the same time. Record keeping may be more complicated.
Now that you have background information on the topic, you are to:
1) Compose a three paragraph communication that convinces a particular audience to adopt flex time. Here are the audiences you can choose from:
a. A large, successful insurance company
b. A branch bank
c. A small catering service
d. A government agency
2) After you conclude the three paragraph communication, include a paragraph in which you characterize how you constructed the paragraph and why you did so in that way given the audience you selected.
