Implementing An Alternative Work Arrangement Policy? Keep Supervisors In The Loop

Today, 70% of mothers and 94% of fathers with children under the age of 18 are working in the United States, and nearly 60% of families in the United States contain two working parents. It comes as no surprise, then, that the number of employees seeking out and taking advantage of flexible working arrangements is growing.

Indeed, a quick review of FORTUNE Magazine's 2014 list of America's top 100 employers confirms that employees value flexible working arrangements.  In fact, in some jurisdictions, the law now requires an employer to consider an employee's request for a flexible working arrangement.  Thus, alternative working arrangement policies can prove valuable for employers hoping to attract talented employees.
