Does Your Board Comprehend the New Reality of Work?

Key Takeaways

• Flexibility is dynamic way of operating business across workplaces, spaces and time with strategic coordinated intention to achieve high levels of performance and engagement.
• Lead with the what (not the where): Flexibility is about organizing around the work itself and how, when and where it happens best, no longer around the workplace.
• Boards and management teams, who have already instilled strong core values and a culture of innovation, experience fewer challenges in executing flexibility strategies.
• Not simply a human resource policy: A flexibility strategy requires the mind shift from “I” to “we” – requiring a framework that includes full leadership buy-in, organization-wide training, communication and the permission to experiment and innovate.
