145 Background: Many survivors of colorectal cancer face long-term job loss stemming from their diagnosis. However, little is known about employment outcomes among their partners and virtually nothing is known about employment impacts among survivor-partner dyads. Methods: In 2019-20 we surveyed 1150 patients who, in 2014-18, underwent resection of Stage III colorectal cancer and were seen at a community oncology practice, academic cancer center, or reported to Georgia SEER (51% RR). Patients gave a separate survey to their partner. 299 partners (73% RR) completed surveys. Patients and partners were asked about employment consequences of the patient’s cancer. Availability of job support benefits and prevalence of adverse employment outcomes were described among partners. Descriptive statistics were generated to identify trends in job loss within dyads. Results: Among partners, 56% were <age 65, 63% female, 86% white, 27% had < high school education. 61% were employed at time of patient’s diagnosis. Among these, 15% had no job support benefits. 33% had paid sick leave, 47% had flexible work schedule, 28% had unpaid time off. Due to the patient’s cancer, 43% missed 7-30 days work and 13% missed >1 month. Due to the patient’s cancer, 18% lost $2000-$10,000 in income and 11% lost >$10,000. 27% were no longer working at the time of survey. In 47% of dyads, both patient and partner were working before patient’s diagnosis. Among those, in 29% only 1 member of dyad was still working at time of survey and in 11% neither member of dyad was still working. In 15% of dyads, only the partner was working before patient’s diagnosis. Among those, in 50% the partner was no longer working at time of survey. In 16% of dyads, only the patient was working before diagnosis. Among those, in 48% the patient was no longer working at time of survey. Job loss in dyads was associated with older age, lower annual income, and lack of flexible work schedule. Conclusions: Missed work and loss of income are common among partners of patients with colorectal cancer. Job loss affects nearly half of dyads in the survivorship period. Employer accommodations such as flexible scheduling may help mitigate job loss among survivors and their partners. [Table: see text]

New Challenges

The digital changes of the 21st century have brought us many new tools, technologies, and, with them, new challenges. The changes fully permeate economic processes and at the same time have a significant impact on work performance. As a result of the changes, many jobs will be lost, new ones will be created, and we will witness ever-faster changes in the labour market. Employers and employees need to adapt to these changed circumstances, in which working time and its scheduling play a key role. In the course of the present work, I examine the feasibility of the shorter working hours that have become available due to technical development, both from a theoretical and a practical point of view. In connection with this, the development of a flexible work schedule will also be subject to a legal examination.

The topicality of the article is due to the need to improve the motivation system of employees, increase staff productivity and profit. The system of motivation of personnel at the enterprise plays one of the most important roles for achievement of the purposes and increase of profit of the enterprise. The ability to develop an effective system of personnel motivation will increase productivity and improve the financial and economic condition of the enterprise. The goal of the article is to research and improve the administration of the personnel motivation system of the enterprise. In the article was considered and analyzed the literature sources related to the system of personnel motivation. The experience of countries and leading corporations around the world in the field of encouraging employees to improve their efficiency are analyzed. An alternative causal relationship between the increase in employees' salaries and the financial results of the enterprise is highlighted. The scope of motivation directly depends on the financial condition of the enterprise, its place in the market, management structure, strategy, goals and the relationship between departments. In the article were considered some alternatives to improve the system of staff motivation: transfer of office workers to remote work; introduction of a flexible work schedule; creating conditions for communication with the management of the enterprise; introduction of a grading system. In modern society, one of the most popular types of motivation is the ability to work remotely. In terms of COVID-19, it is one of the most effective motivators in the company, the essence of which is to perform their duties outside the office. Another intangible way to motivate staff, which shows its effectiveness in modern conditions, is the introduction of a flexible work schedule. The ability to independently set the start and end time of work is a strong motivating factor, as the employee can adjust the work to their biological rhythm, distribute the time between rest and work according to their needs, etc. With the help of communication of employees with the management of the company you can prevent professional burnout. The general symptoms of burnout were also analyzed. An innovative method such as grading also helps to effectively solve the problem of employee motivation, the essence of which is the hierarchical ranking of positions based on their value and impact on the company's performance to ensure transparency of the remuneration system, the size of which depends on the value of the position.

6523 Background: Treatment for most types of cancer results in work disruptions. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for not working during cancer therapy using a patient-reported outcome tool. Methods: Patients of all cancer types, who were undergoing treatment with curative or palliative intent, were enrolled in a survey-based study at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the North Carolina Cancer Hospital from 1/2014 to 7/2015. All patients working full- or part- time at the time of cancer diagnosis were included in this analysis. Patient reported outcomes were collected using a survey tool at any time during active cancer treatment. The primary outcome of this analysis was self-reported work status at the time of survey completion. Results: Of 119 patients who were working before their cancer diagnosis, 68% were working at the time of survey completion. The mean age was 52.9 (range 20-80). Younger age was associated with working: 82% of patients age < 40 were working during treatment vs. 31% of patients age > 65 (p=0.01). The number of days patients reported being completely unable to work in the past month was significantly associated with work status; only 26% of patients who missed > 10 days continued to work compared to 69% who missed ≤ 10 days (p<0.01). Patients who report having a flexible work schedule were 23% more likely to continue to work during treatment (69% vs. 46%, p=0.01). In a multivariable model controlling for having an employer contingent health plan, and household income > 200% of the federal poverty level (fpl), only age, having a flexible work schedule, and inability to work > 10 days were independently associated with work status during treatment (Table). Conclusions: Having a flexible work schedule allowed for more work interruptions without job loss. Patients who are likely to miss more than 10 days of work and who have inflexible work schedules are at high risk of unemployment and should be targeted for employment retention initiatives.

Flexible Work Schedules

The policy of a flexible work schedule has been practiced for years in order to stimulate the redistribution of departure time of commuters. However, its potential influence on travelers’ departure time shifts is infrequently seen in existing studies. This study extended an agent-based positive departure time choice model to gain perspective on travelers’ dynamic reaction toward the flexible work schedule policy. Unlike most rational behavior models, the positive model emphasizes the bounded rationality in people's actual behavior and allows for heterogeneity among travelers. Dynamic traffic assignment is integrated with this proposed model to build up a feedback loop between individual choice (demand side) and network performance (supply side). Scenarios of different percentages of the population with a flexible work schedule are analyzed. It is found that travelers with flexibility in their work schedules tend to depart for work later to avoid peak periods in the morning. The average travel time in the network will decrease by at most 22% when 60% of the travelers have flexible work schedules.
