For more than 30 years, the Working Mother 100 Best Companies has served as the vanguard of flexible work. What was once cutting edge is now essential not only for working parents, but for all employees—from fitness buffs and community volunteers to pet owners and anyone else who has obligations and interests outside the workplace.
That’s why Working Mother has created National Flex Day. Join us on October 18, 2016, as we celebrate all forms of flex, from flextime and remote work to off-ramping and phased retirement.
Flex is a powerful benefit that serves all employees and their employers.
