Flexible Forms of Work in Romania during Pandemic COVID-19

Abstract

Today, due to the flexibility of work, the workplace is no longer just a place with four walls and a desk, and barriers such as time and space have been overcome by implementing flexible ways of working offered to employees. In Romania, changes in the labor market are obvious. If 10-15 years ago the standard/traditional employment model was the basic element of labor relations, and flexibility seemed an exotic and distant concept, nowadays labor flexibility has become a reality that no one can deny. Moreover, flexibility in labor relations has become a necessity. The employer is required to find and retain those employees who professionally meet the requirements of the job. The currency of exchange is that employees have their own requirements and needs to which the employer must adapt. The main objective of the research study is to determine how managers implement the main forms of flexible work.
