Abstract
Flexible work can come in a variety of types, such
as fully flexible strategy where employees are fully flexible in
carrying out their tasks from any location in the world to
strategies that allow workers to work flexibly over several days,
weeks or months at a time. There are many types of flexible
work strategies for companies, and the most common are hiring
digital nomads, freelancers, using co-working space crowds and
so on. This paper tries to compare and analyze the findings of
Stack Overflow research from 2017 with the survey conducted
as a part of this research, in Macedonia in 2019 regarding
flexible work arrangements in the IT industry. The comparative
analysis will represent the workers’ perspective. In the second
part of the paper we will consider several obstacles and traps of
flexible work arrangements from the companies’ perspectives,
and offer principles to overcome them.
