Do you have a flexible work arrangement?
Posted by: eyoung on May 5, 2008 at 10:02AM CST

It’s Flexible Work Arrangement Week (May 4-10).

Flexible work arrangements are alternate arrangements or schedules from the traditional work day and work week. Maybe you work 40 hours in four days instead of five. Maybe you start two hours earlier so you can leave by 3 p.m. Maybe you work from home to save gas money, or job-share with another part-timer.

These alternate schedules are designed to help employees meet personal or family needs. But companies see the benefits, too: Companies that offer their employees flexible work arrangements may be better able to attract and keep good employees, as well as reduce absenteeism, improve employee morale, and have happier, more satisfied workers.

Do you have a flexible work arrangement? What was your motivation and how did you sell your boss on your new schedule? What are the benefits? What are the drawbacks?
