Press Release: Turnover lower at companies with flexibility culture: study

Part-time, flex-time and teleworking top list of offerings

By Other Sources | Updated on February 17, 2011

Feb. 14, 2011 (WorldatWork)–The higher an organization rates itself on flexibility offerings, policies and impacts, the lower the organization’s voluntary turnover rate, according to a survey on workplace flexibility, released by WorldatWork.

This survey of more than 500 HR professionals and WorldatWork members found that flexibility is, in fact, flexible. Part-time schedules, flex-time and teleworking on an ad hoc basis top the list of offerings. These programs are each offered to some or all employees in more than 80% of companies, with 68% offering all three forms of flexibility. Other flexibility programs surveyed — and found to be less prevalent — include compressed workweek, job sharing, phased retirement, and career on and off ramps. On average, organizations offer six flexibility programs in varied ways to employees in varied positions.
