PolyconceptGroup is a multinational company headquartered in New Kensington, Pennsylvania,USA. It is a world leader in gifts and promotional products. Its products aresold in more than 100 countries. Polyconcept Group entered the Chinese marketas early as 1994, and has opened offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Ningbo, a totalof more than 200 employees. With the continuous expansion of business, how toattract and motivate excellent management and chnical personnel is a challengeto Polyconcept. Against this backdrop, Polyconcept implemented its explorationsand novations, took the lead in implementing flexible work system, increased employeewelfare annual leave and other measures, which have greatly motivated theemployees.

Takethe most common working hours of employees for example. Most companies now work“9:00am to 5:00pm”. However,the "one-fits-all" working hours are notsuitable for all employees. Furthermore, taking into account daily trafficduring rush hours, the traditional “9:00am to 5:00pm” working hours cannot meetthe actual needs of enterprises and employees. In November 2018, as initiated by Polyconcept management, the company began toadopt flexible working hour system. Employees can enjoy flexibility to arrangetheir office hours, no longer subject to the "9:00am to 5:00pm"restrictions. This "flexible working system" is still very rare inthe current market.

Whyflexible working system? Mr. Nicolas Villemonteix, Polyconcept China’s ChiefExecutive Officer,     said: “Flexiblework system offers employees greater freedom to choose how they work, givingthem more flexibility to do their work and take care of their personal lives.Through the flexible work system, not only to achieve a change in the way of      work, but also to   promote the company's new culture      (i.e.performance-driven), thereby stimulating more productivity and creativity.Modern IT technology is sufficient to support this new approach, what we lackis the corresponding company culture”.

Today,more and more enterprises put stimulating the creativity of employees in thefirst place in talent management. In February 2019, PricewaterhouseCoopersannounced the launch of "WeFlex" (flexible work) in Hong Kong, Macauand mainland China, allowing employees greater flexibility in working hours. Inother countries, Barclays Bank, Telstra and other companies are also the firstto implement flexible work. But in reality, many enterprises still have doubtsabout whether flexible work system can achieve the desired results, such as howto  organize team work, how to assessemployees, deal with staff absence, etc. At the beginning of the implementation,Polyconcept also         anticipated thepossible challenges and prepared corresponding solutions, including solicitingemployees' opinions, adopting supporting IT facilities for timemanagement,etc.Flexible working system not only gives employees some  flexibility, but also ensures that they work in the office for a relatively fixedperiod of time in order to ensure teamwork and communication.The employees'working hours are counted weekly to make sure there is no absences. At the sametime, employees will not work more hours per day or per week than thecorresponding limit of labor law.

“Afterthe introduction of flexible working system, it has been warmly welcomed byeveryone. We will continue to refine the system and explore ways to increaseemployees’ satisfaction and attract more talents", said by Mr. EdwinEckhardt, director of Human Resources at  Polyconcept.The company will also increase the welfare annual leave for employees, in orderto create a flexible working environment, the company has recently adopted 4stray cats in Shanghai and Shenzhen office, which is well received by ouremployees, and in the future will also anticipate a more healthy, humanizedwork and communication.
