Consider Opportunities for Flexibility

Offer flexible schedules and opportunities for remote work; consider how to engage the part-time workforce by redesigning jobs to allow for greater flexibility in scheduling and locations.

  • Leverage mobile scheduling apps to allow hourly workers to easily find available shifts across numerous locations and sign up for hours that fit their schedule.
