Flexible Scheduling: How to Craft a Program That Works for You and Your Employees

Flexible Scheduling Webinar Recording

Flexible workplaces can promote strong work-life balance – and can be an effective and low-cost way for you to both attract and retain great workers.

Flexible hours, compressed workweeks, and telecommuting are not new concepts. But if your organization is just now taking the plunge, where do you start? If you already offer some variations, how can you be sure you’re doing it right?

You need to make sure your program is both equitable and beneficial, while at the same time taking care to avoid setting the stage for an entitlement mentality.

You also need to consider the motivations and personal goals of four separate generations in the workplace -- all of whom view the idea of "work" very differently. There's no point in setting up a flexible work program if it doesn't get the results you're looking for.

Participate in this interactive webinar, and you'll learn:

• What a flexible workplace is -- and what it isn’t
• The pros and cons of flextime, compressed schedules, and telecommuting arrangements
• How to identify the key business drivers for your organization and articulate the tangible, quantitative benefits that will speak to upper management
• Tips for designing a program and policy that integrate naturally with your policies relating to performance management, security, and technology
• How to help supervisors manage for results using performance metrics rather than physical presence in the office
• Why you must train both managers and employees to ensure a common understanding of your flex program and clear, consistent practices
• How to address negative perceptions that flexworkers may experience
• Why it makes sense to start with a pilot program and how to expand in a logical way
• Keys to tracking and meeting goals in the context of your new flex program

In just 90 minutes, you'll learn how to create and implement a flexible workplace program that will benefit both employees and your organization. Register now for this informative event for HR professionals.

This webinar will be recorded on Friday, August 24, 2012
