This session will examine the workforce and workplace transformations driving the need for greater flexibility and how you can implement effective and flexible workplace strategies.  

As the economy begins to improve, surveys show that employees are anxious to identify the next great job/career opportunity. Is your organization prepared to retain top talent? Research suggests that implementing workplace flexibility can not only help organizations retain high performers, but can also compliment diversity and inclusion strategies, drive employee engagement, productivity and benefit your organization’s bottom line. Case studies of companies that have won the national Sloan Award for Excellence in Workplace Effectiveness and Flexibility for their innovative programs will also be highlighted. You will also hear about new resources and opportunities as a result of SHRM’s partnership with the Families and Work Institute, including the “When Work Works” initiative.
