Source: SHRM Research: Workplace Flexibility in the 21st Century (October 2010) Organizations can use Flexible Work Arrangements to achieve their business goals and at the same time meet employees’ need to work outside of the traditional work hours or workspace Employee requests were the top reason (68%) that prompted organizations to offer formal Formal Work Arrangements During economically challenging times, job-sharing or part-time positions may be an alternative to downsizing through layoffs
