According to new research published in the Cochrane Library's Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews,it seems so.In a review of 10previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16,000people,(52)D from the U.K.'s Durham University and University of Newcastle,as well as the University of Montreal,found that flexible work schedules-when employees can (53)C their starting times,for example-were associated with improvements in a person's overall health.And,perhaps unsurprisingly,in all of the studies included in the review,researchers found no evidence for (54)D effects of more flexible work schedules.
