Build an Employer of Choice Organization
Organizations encourage flexible working arrangements to become an “employer of
choice,” and to compete for and recruit the best people. Many studies have shown
that flexibility maximizes the performance of people through renewed commitment
and engagement in the goals of the organization. They demonstrate the organization's
commitment to developing its people and enable talented people to envision their
future at this organization.

Above all, flexibility demonstrates the organization's commitment to its values. If your
organization aspires to values such as achieving excellence, delivering quality client
service, developing people, working collaboratively, upholding integrity, and
encouraging diversity of opinion—then encouraging flexibility in the time and place
of work show that your company means what it says.

Work/Life Flexibility Positively Impacts Financial Performance
Organizations on Fortune’s “Best Organizations to Work For in America” had higher
annual stock returns, better operating performance and higher return on average assets than organizations not on the list. One study found that organizations
encouraging flexible work arrangements increased their market value by 3.5%.
