Flexible Work Arrangements

Employers, employees, and union representatives will highlight flexible work arrangements that have been critical to their success.

Flexible work arrangements have played a key role in helping employers attract and retain employees, reduce absenteeism and turnover and improve productivity. Likewise, flexible work arrangements have enabled many employees (both hourly and salaried) to hold down jobs while caring for family members, addressing their own health conditions, pursuing job training, and addressing other life circumstances that arise — everything from military deployments to domestic violence.

Join the New America Foundation’s Workforce and Family program for a briefing in which employers, employees and union representatives describe why flexible work arrangements have been effective business and workforce strategies, and what could make those strategies work for others.
