Presentation Description

Workplace Flexibility: The Next Imperative for Business Success and HR Leadership
Workplace flexibility has become a key business strategy to leverage the talents and skills of today’s increasingly diverse, aging, and multi-generational workforce.  In this session, you will learn how flexible work arrangements such as job sharing, flexible scheduling, phased retirement, and telecommuting can drive employee engagement, productivity, retention, and benefit your organization’s bottom line.   You will also examine key HR strategies for implementing flexibility as well as legal issues to consider.  And you will 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.

When 9 to 5 Goes Bust:  Making Workflex a Reality in Your Organization
You might be convinced of the value of workplace flexibility, but how can you make it work in your organization? In this presentation, you will hear award-winning strategies, practical tips and advice from best-practice companies to help you design a workflex program uniquely suited to the needs and culture of your organization.  Among other insights, attendees will learn the four key steps to building a successful program, including building the business case, customizing a workflex program, incorporating change management strategies, and implementing workflex for success.
