2. Speak about flexibility and its types.

Flexibility is the current buzzword today. Flexibility is understood as the ability to change or be changed easily to suit a different situation. This has a number of related meanings.One type of flexibility has existed for some time in the form of flexitime or flextime, where people can choose when they work within certain limits. Then there is the flexible working of the British Airways office in the main course unit, with some of its staff hot-desking, particularly those who are homeworking, teleworking or telecommuting and only need to come into the office occasionally. A third type of flexibility is where employees are recruited on short contracts to work on specific projects, maybe part-time. Perhaps the organisation only has a core staff, and outsources or contracts out work from outside as and when required. Some management experts say that this is the future, with self-employment as the norm, and portfolio workers who have a number of different clients.
