In addition, he really wants to be the person to get them out to school. He does have a reliable person to be with them in the late afternoon or early evening. In order to accommodate his childcare needs, which nontraditional work option would be most suitable for Randolph to pursue?
A)Compressed workweek
B)Job sharing
C)Flextime
D)Telecommuting

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Flextime allows employees to adjust their work schedules to accommodate personal needs, such as childcare responsibilities. This would allow Randolph to work a schedule that would allow him to take his children to school and then work later in the day when he has a caregiver available. Compressed workweek, job sharing, and telecommuting may not be as suitable for Randolph's specific childcare needs.
