"WORK LIFE SHOW" TOP 10 REASONS FOR WORKPLACE FLEXIBILITY (7-5)

7. DOGS ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE LOYAL
Seventy-two percent of employees plan to remain with their employers for the next year in organizations with high levels of workplace flexibility, versus 49 percent of organizations with low levels of flexibility (2004 When Work Works, FWI).

6. STOCKBROKERS SHOULD INVEST
Companies with highly committed employees had a 112 percent return to shareholders over three years, compared to 90 percent for companies with average commitment, and 76 percent for companies with low commitment (2000 Study by Watson Wyatt Worldwide).
5. HACKERS AREN’T SLACKERS
Generation X fathers spend 1.2 hours more time with their children than Boomer fathers with children of the same ages, yet only 52 percent of Gen X fathers aspire to advance – down from 68 percent in 1992. However, they work three hours a week more than those of the same age in 1977.
(2004 Generation & Gender, American Business Collaboration and FWI)
