What workplace flexibility really looks like (According to 10+ companies)
July 1, 2025
Post by PowerToFly
Starting your day earlier to hit school pickup. Heading into the office a few days a week, then working from home when it makes sense. Taking a break mid-morning to walk the dog and clear your head. Flexibility at work can take many forms—and it often depends on the role, the team, and the needs of the business.
At PowerToFly, we know flexibility takes more than a company Slack emoji. It takes trust, clear communication, and systems that support people, no matter their schedule or time zone.
That’s why we pulled together real examples from companies making flexibility work — for both teams and the bottom line.
Shure
At Shure, we believe that to be an inclusive employer of choice for the best talent in our industry, we must enable a work culture built on flexibility and trust. Our Workplace Now program allows managers to make a collaborative choice with their teams to adopt a work arrangement that is best for them. Our guiding philosophy to this workplace strategy includes embracing what matters: flexibility, agility, community, trust, and performance. How, where, and when teams work means something different to everyone. We offer remote, hybrid, and on-site opportunities partnered with flex hours to help teams maximize their performance potential. The success of our Workplace Now program is a direct result of Associates taking personal responsibility for building a culture of mutual trust and support.

Zillow
Zillow employees have the flexibility to work wherever they are most productive: the office, home, or a combination of the two. Our shift to a distributed workforce has enabled permanent location flexibility for many, and we recognize that working from home is not the most productive option for everyone. Our goal is to empower our employees to carve out time for focused work and asynchronous collaboration, while also limiting meeting fatigue by implementing company-wide core collaboration hours — creating a more inclusive, more equitable, more personalized and more efficient way of working.

Citi embraces a hybrid model for many roles, typically requiring three days in the office and two days remote each week. This approach balances collaboration, culture-building, and flexibility.
Imagine connecting with your team in a vibrant office setting, brainstorming ideas and building important work relationships. Now picture having the flexibility to manage your week in a way that fits your life — a hybrid workflow that allows you to focus and be productive in your own space. That’s how Citi approaches work. Our programs and policies serve as guiding principles to support this balance between personal and professional life.For many, it’s a rhythm of three days collaborating in the office and two days working remotely — a deliberate design that weaves together teamwork, belonging, and the freedom to thrive.

As a remote-first organization, we believe that collaborating in a highly coordinated way is an important part of what makes our work successful. Team members are expected to be available for meetings from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm ET, Monday – Friday, regardless of location.
In addition, employees should also work roughly three hours per day asynchronously, which factors in an hour for lunch. This means employees work at a time that best fits their schedule and working style without the expectation of immediately responding to others.
