Flexible work arrangements are generally fairly successful, and they will likely become more prevalent. Individual human resource professionals assume that companies that offer FWAs to some workers will make them available to more. However, most of them don’t see FWAs being offered to more employees at their own workplace.
These are among the findings of the Society for Human Resource Management’s survey, 2014 Workplace Flexibility—Overview of Flexible Work Arrangements.
This disconnect between what employers actually offer and what HR people think everyone else offers were among the relatively few anomalies of a survey the results of which otherwise supported increasingly ramped up FWAs as a way to increase productivity and employee engagement.
