ABSTRACT
Traditional work structures are characterised by fixed schedules, rigidity and mandatory physical presence. Such inflexible work arrangements often limit the employee’s ability to manage personal and professional demands, thereby hindering their well-being, raising health concerns and also negatively affecting corporate performance and environmental sustainability. These models correlate with elevated stress, burnout, and reduced job satisfaction, and thus lead to increased employee turnover.

This study seeks to explore the relationship between work structure, employee health, productivity, and organisational sustainability through a hybrid analysis combining available theoretical insights on evolving human resource trends and a questionnaire addressed to employees across diverse industries. The research aims to understand how employees view, behave and prefer flexible work arrangements, on basis of which creative recommendations are accommodated. By analysing both practical and theoretical insights, the study seeks to reveal key factors linking workplace flexibility with well-being, efficiency and sustainability. The findings aim to shape future human resource strategies that align workforce needs while promoting eco-friendly practices and building resilience in a dynamic work environment.

KEYWORDS: Rigid workplace setting, Work-life balance, Corporate performance, Flexible work schedule, Eco friendly practices.
