Work flexibility: daily life in a German federal office

For almost twenty years, Germany's Federal Office of Administration (Bundesverwaltungsamt), a public institution under the supervision of the Ministry of the Interior, which provides a range of internal and external services and employs 4,800 people at 7 sites, has been a trailblazer in flexible working time. The Office presented an assessment of its "FAZIT" (Flexibile Working Time in the Team) scheme, which has the highest employee satisfaction rate, now at 98%.
