Employers are giving employees more options when it comes to managing when and where they work while also reducing some options that impact how much they work, according to the most recent edition of the National Study of Employers released jointly by the Families and Work Institute and the Society for Human Resource Management.
This 2012 study reveals that more employers are open to workplace flexibility since 2005. In fact, 77 percent of respondents are allowing employees to use flex time and periodically change starting and quitting times within some range of hours as opposed to 66 percent of respondents in 2005.
Eighty-seven percent of employers give employees the option to take off time during the workday to attend to important family or personal needs without loss of pay while only 77 percent of respondents allowed this in 2005. Another 63 percent of respondents provide employees with the chance to work some of their regular paid hours at home occasionally compared to 34 percent of respondents in 2005.
