5 Types of Flexible Work Models to Boost Productivity

24 de March de 2025 - 14h03m

Flexible Work: The New Normal for Smart Companies

Working with rigid schedules and locations is becoming a thing of the past. Today, modern companies understand that real productivity comes from freedom with responsibility. That’s why flexible work models are not just a trend – they are a strategic necessity.

In this article, we will show you:

  • The 5 most adopted flexible work models worldwide;
  • Practical examples from major companies;
  • And how Monitoo outperforms tools like ActivTrak by offering smarter data and real productivity control — without surveillance, with intelligence.
     

✅ What Are Flexible Work Models?


These are policies that allow employees to decide how, when, and where they work. Companies adopt this model to attract talent, improve performance, and reduce operational costs — but for it to work, real productivity data is essential.

That’s where Monitoo stands out: while outdated solutions like ActivTrak only show superficial activities, Monitoo delivers in-depth analysis, intelligent context, and reports that drive strategic decision-making.

 

🚀 Why Should Your Company Adopt Flexible Work?

Studies show that companies with flexible models experience:

  • 🔥 Less stress and burnout
  • 📈 Higher engagement and productivity
  • 💡 Better talent retention
  • 👥 Greater diversity and inclusion
  • 💰 Reduced fixed costs

And with Monitoo, you can track everything with precision:

Real productivity is not measured by hours in the office but by results — and Monitoo delivers that level of analysis.


💼 5 Types of Flexible Work Models
 

1. Remote Work

Employees work 100% from home or anywhere in the world.

📌 Example: LinkedIn adopted full remote work for most positions. The result? Increased engagement and performance.

💡 With Monitoo, you can monitor remote productivity with real data — without invading employees’ privacy.

 

2. Hybrid Work

Some days in the office, some at home.

📌 Example: Amazon requires 3 days in the office, while Salesforce lets managers decide.

💡 With Monitoo’s Smart Dashboard, you can identify hybrid productivity patterns and adjust your policy based on concrete data.
 

3. Day Workweek

Working four days a week has been proven to boost well-being while maintaining or even increasing results.

📌 Example: Companies like Buffer and Kickstarter report less stress and higher productivity.

💡 Monitoo helps prove the efficiency of a shorter workweek with comparative metrics before and after implementation.

 

4. Flextime (Flexible Hours)

Employees choose when to start and finish, as long as they meet their goals.

📌 Example: Dell has successfully used this model for over a decade.

💡 Monitoo identifies peak performance hours for each employee using AI and provides reports with personalized recommendations.

 

5. Results-Only Work Environment (ROWE)

It doesn’t matter when or where work happens — only the results delivered.

📌 Example: Atlassian and Zapier use this model to achieve maximum productivity with total freedom.

💡 With Monitoo, you measure real results and impact, not just activity levels.

 

📊 How to Measure Productivity in Flexible Models?

👉 The answer isn’t spreadsheets or generic reports. It’s intelligent monitoring tools like Monitoo, which:

  • Identify productivity bottlenecks;
  • Analyze behavior patterns;
  • Generate automatic alerts for inactivity or overload;
  • Ensure compliance without micromanagement.
     

Monitoo is more than monitoring — it’s an intelligence platform for high-performance teams.
