Balancing Professionals Talks to Executives About Flexibility

Raleigh, NC (February 6, 2008) — What is the top priority of today’s workforce? Flexibility. And when organizations really get flexible (think something much more than “flex-time”), they create significant benefits for employees, the community, the environment, and their bottom line! Not only is flexibility cheap to offer, but it’s a savvy business strategy that can give companies a competitive advantage.

Balancing Professionals, LLC, will be a guest of Better Management for an online presentation titled, “The People Strategy Most Executives Overlook and Why It Matters!” With a worldwide audience of executives and managers, BetterManagement is an online resource addressing critical management issues.

This webinar on workplace flexibility goes way beyond flex-time to look at:

The 4 workforce change-factors that are driving the need for new people strategies.
How flexibility can be a win-win-win-win (that’s a lot of wins for a lot of different constituents!).
Why flexibility must be much more than an HR program.
The top ways your organization can capitalize on flexibility.

“We’ve seen how important it is for all levels of management to be educated about and involved in flexibility strategies, yet these issues are too often confined to the Human Resources Department. When you realize the positive impact such strategies can have on the business as a whole, the importance of having executives pay more attention to these issues becomes clear,” says Maryanne Perrin, founding partner at Balancing Professionals.

This free webinar is on February 20, 11 am to 12 noon eastern time. The audio archive can be viewed at http://www.bettermanagement.com/seminars/seminar.aspx?l=14631.
