    Area of Science:

    • Workforce Management
    • Healthcare Administration
    • Organizational Psychology

    Background:

    • The traditional 9-to-5, five-day workweek is increasingly misaligned with the evolving demands of the modern workforce.
    • Innovative scheduling models are necessary to enhance employee satisfaction and operational efficiency in healthcare settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the implementation and impact of Alternative Work Schedules (AWS) within a hospital's Social Work Service.
    • To explore the practical application of "flex-time," "compressed workweek," and "job sharing" models.

    Main Methods:

    • A two-year pilot project was conducted in the Social Work Service of an urban medical center.
    • The study focused on the negotiation, programming, and implementation phases of various AWS models.

    • Participating social workers reported highly positive responses to the new scheduling arrangements.
    • Healthcare team members and service consumers also indicated positive feedback.

    Conclusions:

    • Alternative Work Schedules (AWS) represent a promising and effective approach to modern workforce needs in healthcare.
    • The implementation of flex-time, compressed workweeks, and job sharing can lead to significant improvements in staff and patient satisfaction.
