A Truly Flexible Workplace: Strategic and Sustainable!

Flexibility is the TOP priority of today’s workforce. But creating a truly flexible workplace isn’t just good for employees, it’s a strategic move that’s good for communities, the environment, and an employer’s bottom line (click here to see some hard data! pdf).

What exactly is TRUE flexibility? It’s about embracing win-win flexible work arrangements and career path options that meet the unique realities of your organization.  It’s about optimizing flexibility strategies (like flexible scheduling, telecommuting, part-time, job-share, free-scheduling, and career customization) to:

  • Attract and retain top talent
  • Increase productivity
  • Improve employee engagement, health, and job satisfaction
  • Reduce spending on salaries, rent, and real estate
  • Improve contingency planning for events like H1N1
  • Access new pools of talent
  • Reduce the environmental impact of commuting and construction
  • and more...

Balancing Professionals offers affordable advisory and connecting services to help employers capitalize on workplace flexibility:

  • Our Advisory Services (assessments, workshops, planning and implementation) help employers tackle the cultural and operational challenges of building a flexible workplace in order to optimize their people power.
  • Our Connecting Services bring together employers and our unique pool of experienced part-time professionals (marketing, HR, sales, finance, project management, etc. . .) in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina.
