An arrangement in which work schedules are flexible so that employees can balance personal and occupational responsibilities.

• A. Flextime
• B. Ageism
• C. Kinkeeper
• D. Empty Nest

Answer: (A)

Flexibility in work schedules to balance personal and occupational responsibilities is described as flextime. This arrangement lets employees choose when to start and end their workday within agreed-upon limits, helping them fit caregiving, appointments, commuting, or other personal duties around work. Because it directly addresses aligning work hours with personal life, flextime is the best fit for this description and can improve job satisfaction and reduce stress. The other terms refer to unrelated concepts: ageism is prejudice based on age, a kinkeeper is someone who preserves family history, and an empty nest describes a family stage after children leave home.
