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.
On October 19, WF2010 co-director Katie Corrigan moderated a panel at a conference convened by the Center for American Progress to discuss the Shriver Reprort. To watch "Business Unusual: Business' Response to the New American Workforce" and other panel discussions, click here. Katie Corrigan and Chai Feldblum, co-directors of Workplace Flexibility 2010, recently blogged about the importance of The Shriver Report on the Huffington Post, writing that the report "reveals the implications of women's changing economic status on the social and cultural institutions that define us - from government, business, and faith-based organizations to our individual communities and families." October is National Work & Family Month! To raise awareness, various contributors will post their reflections on work and family issues to the Huffington Post. Contribtors include: Kathie Lingle, Executive Director of the Alliance for Work-Life Progress, David Gray ( 1, 2), Director of the Workforce and Family Program at New America Foundation, Donna Klein, Executive Chair of Corporate Voices for Working Families, and Diane Burrus, a Senior Consultant at WFD Consulting. On Wednesday, May 13, Workplace Flexibility 2010 released a comprehensive set of policy solutions to expand Americans’ access to flexible work arrangements. For the report, click here.
