flexible work arrangements

Non-rigid employment terms

Flexible work arrangements are employment terms that deviate from the traditional nine-to-five office model.

These include remote work, compressed workweeks, job sharing, flextime, and part-time schedules.

The phrase became ubiquitous during and after the COVID-19 pandemic: The company now offers flexible work arrangements to all employees.

Often shortened to FWA in corporate contexts.
