The Business Case for Workplace Flexibility:  

A Panel Discussion with the 2009 Alfred P. Sloan Award Winners

Globalization, technology, changing demographics and transportation issues—these are just a few of the trends transforming today’s workplace.

In the face of fierce competition, increasingly complicated jobs and an aging workforce, it can be more challenging than ever for employers to manage effectively, recruit top talent, engage and retain workers and maximize productivity. It’s not just businesses that are experiencing a crunch. Employees are also impacted, often feeling stretched thin between their responsibilities at home and at work.

 

Here’s one solution to enhance your bottom line in these changing times … implement flexibility as a strategic tool!  To start the conversation at your company or organization, join us at Chamber U on Wednesday January 20 from 8:30-9:30 a.m. for a Q & A session and sharing of best practices with past winners of the prestigious Alfred P. Sloan Award.


You'll hear from:

CrossComm, Inc.

Durham’s Partnership for Children

Shodor
