TMS Asia-Pacific CEO Andrew Chan has welcomed the Carlson Wagonlit Travel decision to introduce new flexible workforce arrangements describing the move as a breakthrough for the travel and tourism industry employment landscape.
Mr Chan said the decision in effect provided a huge opportunity for the ever-growing numbers of employees, and especially parents, in the workplace seeking to work more flexibly in order to achieve a better balance between job, lifestyle and family commitments.
“The part time/work from home element makes good business sense for a variety of reasons – from increased staff motivation, productivity and retention and improved customer service,” he said.
“And from the perspective of that all important bottom line, considerable reductions in overall operational costs.”
“I am confident the CWT decision and the in-built benefits it provides to both employers and employees will act as a catalyst for other organisations to follow suit and implement similar policies.”
