Most global employers don’t mind when employees show up late for work, according to new research by data-protection provider Mozy. Mobile technology, including smartphone apps and cloud services, now means that employers are surprisingly supportive of a flexible workforce — more than most employees realize.
The findings emerged in a study of 1,000 U.S., British, German, French and Irish employees and employers, which found 73% of bosses have a relaxed attitude to time keeping, since they trust their staff is working long before they actually get to the office. However, this may be surprising to most employees, more than half of whom are under the impression that their executives definitely will mind if they are late.
