Transforming attitudes to working schedules could improve the productivity of staff at serviced offices in Cardiff, it has been suggested.
Roger Harrop, business expert and international speaker, explained how one organisation has begun judging its employees solely on their results and has seen a positive consequence.
Microsoft Holland allows its workers to carry out their jobs when they want and for as many hours in the day as they wish.
"They are as a result the most productive Microsoft company in the world, with absenteeism and sickness both down," Mr Harrop stated.
He described how people get to spend time with their family, stay at home when they want and travel how and when they like.
Companies were advised to follow the firm's lead and "turn the world of work on its head" in order to see benefits for both staff members and businesses.
The comments follow the results of a recent study by the University of Bristol, which found that people who walk or cycle to work achieve more than 80 per cent of their daily recommended exercise through commuting alone.
