Flash
This is a multimedia graphics programme which enables the creation of animations on the web (essentially movies). Flash uses vector graphics – this means that any graphics used can be scaled down in size but will not lose their quality.
Flexi-time
This relates to a variable work schedule. At Xibis our typical core period is between 09.30am – 04.30pm with one additional hour to be worked either side of this period. Flexi-time allows for a more relaxed working environment giving employees more control over their time.
