Abstract	Flexible working hours have become a central strategy for enhancing employee performance and work-life balance in the fast-paced work environment of today, especially in the IT industry. This research examines the effects of flexible work arrangements on productivity, employee performance, personal well-being and goal alignment Through examining the responses of 120 IT workers, the research investigates how varying types of flexibility—such as flexible start and end times, compressed workweeks and working remotely impact efficiency and engagement. Results show that flexible work schedules improve productivity, lower stress and enable improved time management but also cause issues like communications gap, challenges in maintaining boundaries and workload pressure. Statistical calculations such as Rank analysis and Chi-Square tests identify strong correlations between flexible work hours depending on employee performance and work-life balance. The research offers implications of best practice for organizations that adopt flexible working arrangements to allow professional and well-being needs of the individual worker to be equally matched.
Keywords	Flexible work hours, employee performance, work life balance, goal alignment.
