Flexible work arrangements are becoming part of a modern work environment. Ohio State University currently has a flexible work policy (6.12) that allows employees to propose a flexible work arrangement. Colleges and units across campus have successfully navigated integrating flexible work into their workplace culture. Workplace flexibility provides a way to successfully manage people, time, space and workload. Studies have shown that flexible work arrangements can increase productivity, employee engagement and improve work-life balance. USAC has partnered with the President and Provost’s Council on Women (PPCW) to create a “Flex Work Toolkit,” to provide valuable resources that managers and employees across campus and the Medical Center can utilize when discussing flexible work arrangements.
