ALTHOUGH TODAY'S FAMILY HAS CHANGED, THE WORKPLACE HAS NOT—AND THE
RESULTING ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL WORKPLACE HAS BECOME PROFOUNDLY MISMATCHED
TO THE NEEDS OF AN INCREASINGLY DIVERSE AND VARIED WORKFORCE. As
changes in the composition of the workforce exert new demands on
employers, considerable attention is being paid to how workplaces can
be structured more flexibly to achieve the goals of employers and
employees. Workplace Flexibility brings together sixteen essays
authored by leading experts in economics, demography, political
science, law, sociology, anthropology, and management. Collectively,
they make the case for workplace flexibility, as well as examine
existing business practices and public policy regarding flexibility in
the United States, Europe, Australia, and Japan.
Workplace Flexibility underscores the need to realign the structure of
work in time and place with the needs of the changing workforce.
Considering the positive and negative consequences for employer and
employee alike, the authors argue that, although there is not an easy
solution to creating and implementing flexibility practices—in the
United States or abroad—redesigning the workplace is essential if
today's workers are effectively to meet the demands of life and work
and if employers are successfully able to attract and retain top
talent and improve performance.
