Business Impacts of Flexibility: An Imperative for Expansion represents for the first time the weight of evidence companies themselves have collected about the positive business impacts of flexibility.  Drawing on internal organizational research and information from 28 American firms, this report provides evidence that employers can gain tremendous benefit from providing flexibility in when and how work gets done. 

Eleven senior corporate executives have signed a formal statement supporting the Flexibility Report and committing their organizations to providing leadership on workplace flexibility.  The Statement of Support has been endorsed by Allstate, Baxter, Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, IBM, JP Morgan Chase, Knowledge Learning, KPMG, Marriott International, and PNC Financial.

This report is a product of Corporate Voices for Working Families, a non-profit coalition of companies committed to issues affecting working families.  It was researched and written by WFD Consulting with financial support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and Baxter International.
