Would you like to know more about companies' program design and results from offering flexible work arrangements? Hewitt's 2008 Timely Topics Survey Report About Flexible Work Arrangements will be of interest.

The survey contains information from 90 North American companies with various forms of flexible work arrangements:

• Part-time Employment: working less than a full-time schedule, with a corresponding reduction in pay and benefits.
  
• Flextime: varying the start and end time of a standard day around core hours, either on a regular basis or adjusted daily.
  
• Telecommuting: working from home or another alternate location on a regularly scheduled basis.
  
• Compressed Workweeks: working a full-time schedule in fewer than 5 days/week or 10 days over 2 weeks.
  
• Phased Return from Leave: working a part-time schedule with a gradual increase to full-time when returning from a leave of absence.
  
• Job Sharing: two people sharing the duties and hours of a full-time person..
  
• Summer Hours: typically a compressed workweek offered only between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
  
• Phased Retirement: working a part-time schedule or stepping down to less responsibility in preparation for retirement.
  
• Virtual Work: working in an entirely goal-driven environment with no defined work schedule or workplace.
