Ladies and Gentlemen,
I do apologize for not blogging in quite some time! Whew! Time flies when you suddenly become busier than you ever imagined. Can I just say it's been a wild ride and it's been amazing! Don't think I quit caring about the HR stuff. I'm only so much more excited about it all. Today's quick agenda: Workflex discussion. Wow! I went to a seminar recently and heard about the wonderful world of flexible workplaces. Check this out: http://www.shrm.org/Advocacy/Issues/WorkplaceFlexibility/Documents/FlexAtAGlanceBrochure_0314.pdf

Just to state the obvious- who does NOT want a more flexible workplace? Seriously, would someone really say "No way. I love my strict 7:59am to 5:02pm schedule with a 45 minute commute each way and a 31 minute lunch break. I'm satisfied. Please, don't change anything." In the information age- it's truly time to step it up and let your people work where and when they want to. It's all about the information, simply getting the work done. Wouldn't it save money if workers got to work from their own homes, on their own computers, using their own electricity? Just a thought. And wouldn't they save money not commuting everyday? And maybe, just maybe- they'd be WAY happier employees?

Chew on that today. Check out the SHRM position on workplace flexibility. Also there's a cool non-profit doing some research called FWI: http://www.familiesandwork.org/. Have a great day... And think up new ways to be flexible and make work work for you.
