Abstract
In the interest of helping employees balance their work and families, all but 10% of large companies offer some version of flex-time. Experts advise that it should always be up to the employee to figure out how a non-traditional schedule will work to everyone''s benefit. A written proposal from the employee that explains how the change will affect customers will allow the appropriate manager to judge the request as a business proposition, without getting into the personal reasons why various employees are seeking long-term schedule changes. Those considering such a move are warned that it is not always easy to find a rewarding job that can be done part-time, and that those taking advantage of flex-time need to be realistic about how their new work schedule may affect their role or their progress toward long-term goals. Seven essentials in making flexibility work are discussed.
