Flextime

Explanation:

A "Job Design" is being implemented in the workplace in order to motivate employees to work. This also prevents boring routines that cause job dissatisfaction.

The situation above is an example of a "Flextime" or "Flexible Time" job design. This allows the employees to manage their time of working rather than following a strict schedule. Not everyone is a morning person, so this allows the individual who is more productive in the afternoon to work additional hours by going to the office before 2:00 p. m. (as in the situation above). Morning persons may work before 11:00 a. m. if they wish so.

This type of design also allows the employees to avoid traffic jams during specific hours, so it can lead to less frustration about going to work on their end.

So, this explains the answer.
