WFD Consulting is partnering with Corporate Voices for Working Families again to research workplace flexibility for lower wage workers. Previous research shows that flexibility can have significant and almost immediate payoffs because even limited flexibility can make a considerable difference for lower wage workers. Yet, there is little research on the business impact of lower wage workplace flexibility. WFD is entering its second phase in collecting corporate data on lower wage flexibility for a report due out in 2008. To request more information or to nominate your organization for the project research, contact Amy Richman, Project Manager. Due to high interest, the original report by WFD and Corporate Voices, "Business Impacts of Flexibility," published in November 2005, is currently out of print. Re-prints will be available with additions in early 2008.
