Flexible timing is better at work. It reduces the chances of stress. In this case, employees have to have tension free and tension free leads to relaxation. A relaxed employee is going to work in a better manner as compared to an employee full of burdens, stress and tension. It is so obvious if a time limit is given to finish a work it will be a burden for employee and he/she will not be able to work as efficiently as a relaxed and tension free employee. Suppose four hours is given to complete a task, then definitely employee has to work constantly for 4 hours to complete that work without taking any break this will lead to tiredness and even dullness. For better and efficient working break from work and relaxation is required So, I conclude that flexi timings are better than fixed timings.

According to me, the timings of work depend on the nature of the work an individual is dealing with for example in a corporate setup it is mostly preferable to have fixed timings as you are assigned to report to a person for assisting on a particular task involving many people working on particular task divided among themselves or assigned based on mutual consent so they can all do it a certain fixed timing and get cleared with specifications on task to be completed on without any errors whereas if its non-corporate setup like freelancing or any creative jobs which needs only an individual to do work for example writer its should be flexible as there is necessarily no time frame to complete it as it fully depends on creativity and thought process and mood at given time phases.

According to my knowledge, Flexi Timings is better than the Fixed Timings.

Because If people working on Flexible Timings, their mind is very fresh. Then, They do more work and that work has "Quality".They have enthusiasm to do splendid work.

Mainly in women point of you Flexible Timings very Convenient.Because they have lot of work in home and office.So, she must handle both work.

If people working on these Flexible Timings, if people have more work, without hesitating easily they do that work also.

If people working on Fixed Timings, in their mind has some intension to go and come on that time. So, they concentrated on that timings only. They do little bit of work on that time and if the time is over, without completion of work also they go to their home.

According to my opinion I feel that fixed timing is beneficial. It helps one become punctual. Whereas flexible timing is not that beneficial. It makes one lazy and one goes on postponing his dates and hence the work is not done on proper timing which affects the company in one way or the other. Fixed timing has n number of benefits.

It makes one time- oriented, punctual and concerned about his own job profile, one cannot give any sort of excuses in fixed timing as one has do the amount of work given in that span of time which avoids delay. If people in the bank are alloted with flexible bank timings then the service seekers would be at a huge loss. So keeping all such things in mind one has to do his work on time and if possible before time which leads to development.

According to me, both fixed and flexible timings are important. Instead of that, the first time is important. Time is a precious thing which can't be returned. It is also based on the workplace. Inflexible timings we have the time free limit to do the work, this reduces the stress, but when we use it in the efficient way it is useful when it is wasted it is worthless. Flexible timings make a person lazy. Fixed timings are sometimes useful for example if there is a useful project in fixed timings we will complete as soon as possible than flexible timings. It also develops discipline. But the main disadvantage is stress is more. So, we can conclude that the main thing is that man life more than a discipline. So, I think flexible timings are better at work.

My Opinion is if person alloted the repetitive task than he should follow the fixed timing wherein he can be more productive with that same timing performing the same task daily.

But the person who is on the management level or his work focused on ideas and innovation, and he loves his work. Then he should follow flexible hours.

With fexibility, he will be stress-free so he can easily concentrate on his ideas. And Can work on his most productive hours.

Finally :

For entrepreneurs: Flexible Timing.
For Employees: Fixed Timing.

But That entrepreneurs should be very enthusiastic every time about his work. For that he should track his performance and do some competitions and set the target. He can meet to people related to his niche or lobby. Thanks.

According to me, time is Gold, it cannot return. So we should not waste our time. Flexitime means any work I can do any time but fixed time means there is a specified time for the work. According to me, fixed time is better for work. If there is no specific time then people he or she will think will do it but when he thinks he will do maybe think right now I have no mood I will do it later. In this way people get lazy. He will not be able to complete the work but discipline is very much important in our life. Indiscipline people is not able to do anything in their life. So we go to the office in time and start Office in time and a particular time complete our work exceptional case is different So fixed time is better at work.

Hi to All. Well as per me the question here should not be "Flexi Timings or Fixed Timings - Which is better at Work?". The question should be "What can be done to provide employee a better work culture ! ". Because in case if FLEXI timing is implemented in offices then it will directly mean 24/7 service to the employer.

Because every now and then somebody may be there in the office and he might want some work, some meeting or some advice from you. So as to accomplish the same, the employee will have to be on phone / on Mail 24/7 which will directly make your life more miserable then it already was. So certainly FLEXI timings would not be a very good option unless you are not a team player.

I believe fixed timings are better at work. Fixed timings allow a person to manage timings properly and specifically. By specifically I mean that he can fix a time for each of his personal as well as professional activities. For example he can manage time such that he can spend quality time to bond with his family, friends and relatives.

It will also provide time for oneself. For example - time for gym/yoga/walks. Also one can get manage time for some hobbies like painting/ dancing/ singing etc. Thus a fixed time provides not proper management but also helps to keep oneself stress free so as focus totally on his work during the office hours.

Why we have fix time in our colleges n schools? they prepare us for corporate world where the timings are normally fixed. Fix timings make people more disciplined. In fixed timing we know that this is the where we have to work hard and this is the time to spend with family or enjoy.

In case of flexible-timing the member of the team will come at different time n the team will get lesser time to interact with each other. The people will do lunch or take breaks at different time n flow of informal information will b less. Which is not good. The employees get less time to spend with their colleagues. So the timings should be fixed.
