Meeting the Needs of Today's Families
The Role of Workplace Flexibility
Event
Workplace Flexibility 2010 of Georgetown University Law Center and the Workforce and Family Program of the New America Foundation are bringing together a panel of researchers studying the mismatch between the needs of America’s families and the way the workplace is currently structured. These experts have studied how this mismatch impacts marital well-being, child-rearing, and caregiving responsibilities, including elder care.
The briefing will also highlight how workplace flexibility benefits families and how one company is using flexibility as a key management strategy.
