As telecommunications technologies advance, the workplace is becoming more fluid. More and more employers are offering work from home benefits to their employees, and there are definite advantages to this level of flexibility. Often it improves morale, increases retention, and helps employees maintain a healthy work-life balance. However, many employers are asking, how flexible is too flexible? Some experts feel that some level of structure in flexible work practices would be beneficial. According to a survey released by WorldatWork and FlexJobs, about 80 percent of workplaces offer some type of flexible work arrangement for their employees, yet only 37 percent have formal, written philosophies or policies to support these flexibility programs. This disorganization can lead to problems. “Top employers today understand the valid reasons for creating new ways of working; however, we’re still witnessing a lack of training and resistance from management,” said Anne C. Ruddy, president and CEO of WorldatWork, in a press release about the survey. “Without a formal program in place, it’s difficult to measure the effectiveness of flexibility. Until that happens, companies will not see cost-saving benefits, productivity gains and increased employee retention, which all come from workplace flexibility."
