• {{employee_needs}}: the key employee needs or concerns you want to address (e.g., work-life balance, commute time).
• {{business_constraints}}: any operational or managerial constraints (e.g., customer service hours, team collaboration).

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the provided work options and employee needs to identify potential benefits and challenges.
3. Recommend a structured implementation plan, including communication strategies and change management steps.
4. Suggest metrics to track success and methods for gathering employee feedback.

• Stay within the scope of flexible work arrangements; do not delve into unrelated HR topics.
• Ensure recommendations are adaptable to different industries and company sizes.

Example

• {{work_options}}: remote work and flexible hours; {{employee_needs}}: work-life balance; {{business_constraints}}: need for daily team syncs.
