ISPA system check of internal working time and time account

Aims of the system checks

Systematic and extensive inventory of the current working time and time account regulations regarding the company as a whole or certain divisions.

Our questions in the system check

• Which competencies of the working time flexibilisation are intended for companywide use or certain divisions (e.g. part-time, job sharing, flextime with or without core hours, annual working times with or without regulated allocation over the year, varying weekly hours of work, work on call, etc.)?
  
• How often do the target persons respectively the target groups actually deploy these concepts or their variants (e.g. diffusion and permeation rate of part-time and its various variants)?
  
• In which way and how fast does the company respond to perceived changes in the work load and/or desired working times of single employees?
  
• Which changes arise in comparison with previous system checks?
  
• In what way are the results of the system checks different in comparison to other companies?

Reasons for a system check

• uncontrolled growth of working time regulations in the different departments of the company and isolated applications without mutual agreements
  
• loss of overview and control over the locally practised working time regulations by the central personnel department respectively the time-recording clerk
  
• drifting apart of the formal and factual working time regulations in the different departments
  
• critique on established regulations and call for reorganisation on the part of the management and/or the employees
  
• feedback from the personnel marketing department on altered working time requests from qualified candidates
  
• desire for determination of position in sectoral and corporate comparisons (How do we perform in benchmarking?)

The methodology of ISPA consult

• document analysis (collective agreements, company agreements, internal guides), time-relevant personnel statistics and comparative studies
  
• written or oral executive and employee surveys
  
• creation of a result report in print and online format
