Winner of the Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility Spotlight on Social Dynamics' report on the ODEP-WB Forum: Advancing Workplace Flexibility Policy and Practice Click to view On January 24, 2011, the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and the Women’s Bureau (WB) joined to build upon the President’s message that workplace flexibility is critical to strengthening our nation’s economy and families. The ODEP-WB Workplace Flexibility Forum was designed to develop concrete recommendations for the local, State, and Federal advancement of workplace flexibility policies and practices for all employees, including individuals with disabilities.  Current workplace flexibility policies and practices primarily revolve around “time and place;” i.e., the time a task is performed and the place where it is performed. The goals of the Forum were to build upon the national dialogue around these existing strategies and to expand them to include flexibility around the way actual job tasks are performed, including through job-task negotiation.  Innovative strategies that improve policies, programs, and agency operations.
