More than ever before, change is a constant presence in the world of work and human resources (HR). Volatile economic factors and the effects of a long-term recession, as well as new legislative proposals affecting HR benefits, are forcing employers to rethink how work is performed and delivered. Workplace flexibility options have been proven to deliver the above results. Known as flexible work arrangements (FWAs), these options provide a number of work structures that alter the time and/or place that work gets performed on a regular basis. This Hewitt trends bulletin defines FWAs, discusses employer concerns and the benefits of such programs, reviews the political landscape, and shares employer success stories and implementation guidelines.
