Home > Shattering the Myths of Flexwork: Securing Manager Buy-In

FWI & SHRM 2013 Workflex Conference
Learn how to overcome midlevel managerial resistance to workflex by shedding light on common misperceptions about trust and accountability in the flexible work environment.
PowerPoints/Handouts Available

While flexwork has grown in popularity in recent years, many HR leaders still struggle with convincing managers to view flexible work arrangements as an effective organization-wide strategy, rather than merely a reward offered to select employees. We will shatter the myths of flexwork often held by midlevel managers, and ensure that silent sabotage does not derail your flex initiative. Leave with:

  • A fuller understanding of the benefits of a flexwork program, as well as tactics you can use to combat managers’ resistance to change.
  • The business case for why flexwork can be considered an effective organization-wide strategy, rather than a perk.
  • Insight on how flexwork addresses three distinct business challenges: workforce performance, generational issues, and financial implications.
