Workplace Flexibility 2010 is a campaign to support the development of a comprehensive national policy on workplace flexibility. By the year 2010, we hope to have helped develop consensus-based policy solutions that work for business and families.
Jessica Glenn of WF2010 has contributed an article to the June 2008 edition of The Network News, an online publication
of the Sloan Work and Family Research Network. In “Advancing Workplace Flexibility: A Community Perspective,” Glenn describes the integral role of community outreach in developing public policy that will “create an American workplace that allows employees to balance work and life responsibilities – while also allowing businesses to succeed.”
Glenn, along with Patricia Kempthorne of the Twiga Foundation, has been leading Workplace Flexibility 2010’s effort to engage the “community perspective” through a series of community policy forums, as Glenn writes: “Through these forums, we are able to hear directly from local employers and community organizations on how they are experiencing the need for flexibility – and to bring their insights back to the national policy debate on work and family.”
