When I was employed we had a formal TOIL (time off in lieu) system with the option to convert to cash and, despite there being a shitty, money-grabbing, back-stabbing for personal gain culture, there was plenty of trust over time sheets and TOIL.
Mr L works more hours than he's paid for (though they do have TOIL), and there's no formal flexitime arrangement, but the informal and reasonable flexibility at his office increases loyalty and commitment. And there are benefits like, for eg, increased opening hours at the office because Mr L is an early riser and gets to work before 8am, while others prefer to start later and finish after Mr L is safely back home.
3. Are there not plenty of studies to show that working too many hours and having a rigid system is counter-productive. In other words the answer to the question 'how can we be more efficient' is 'work fewer hours and be more flexible'.
