Workplace Flexibility: Why Should it Matter?

The company cannot function without employees and employees do not exist without the company; both have fair stock in the others success. Therefore, a balance in work expectations must be had in order that both parties can produce effectively. As the years continue, more and more people find themselves immersed in a sea of personal responsibility coupled with career obligations. According to Patricia Early, part of the Twiga Foundation (a foundation dedicated to promoting family consciousness in the workplace and community) “workplace flexibility is about innovation and creative ways to address employer needs while at the same time complimenting and respecting employee and family issues.” However, as studies have shown, it is necessary to consider the importance of flexibility not only for the employee but also for the company. It is only then, according to Dr. Rena E. Freidman, author of Workplace Flexibility: A Guide for Companies, that employers will experience “…improved employee engagement, job retention, job satisfaction, and employee well being- all of which contribute positively to the company’s bottom line.” This session is designed to increase your knowledge about the importance of workplace flexibility and to promote creativity in implementing strategies that will allow your business to flourish.
