Worried about losing top talent during the economic recovery?  Taking small steps like summer hours or occasional work from home and think it’s the right time to do more?  Looking for flex work ideas for your hourly employees?

In this high-content, high-energy workshop, Kyra Cavanaugh will walk you through the steps you can take today to make your workplace more flexible.  She’ll help you build the business case for flex, show you small steps you can take before you present an official plan, and demonstrate why it’s critical that you address not only your policy, but your culture, as well.

Whether you’ve barely considered workplace flexibility or have deliberately expanded your work “place,” you face the same issue: How to reap the financial benefits of flexibility in a way that fits your culture, doesn’t become a big transformational project, and can be implemented at all levels of management.

Through a combination of presentation, exercises, interactive discussions and break out groups, you’ll walk away from this session with practical, proven solutions to help you get started.

Key issues covered will include:
• Laying the groundwork for a flexible workplace
• Making the case and getting your proposal accepted
• Overcoming middle manager resistance
• Tying flex initiatives to key business metrics
• Selecting flex options for both hourly & salaried teams

If you need to retain your top performers, drive performance, or improve employee loyalty and engagement, you won’t want to miss it!  This session is equally beneficial for HR practitioners who are new to flex and those with experience.
