Selling the Business Case for Flex Work: Looking Beyond the Reward
Join the Stegmeier Consulting team on May 1, as we’re joined by Laura Harrell, an HR Business Partner with the Cleveland Clinic, for our educational session at the WorldatWork Total Rewards Conference.
Join our panel of three consultants who specialize in flex work program development and implementation to discuss building the business case for flex work as an effective enterprise-wide strategy and not just a solution or perk to be applied on a case-by-case basis.
The panel approach shares three unique business perspectives (that of workforce performance [Diane Stegmeier], generational issues [Sandy Crocker Hosfeld], and financial implications [Matthew Stegmeier]) for how flex work supports work-life balance; employee wellness; and attracting, inspiring and retaining top talent. The panelists will share their insights on the risks, rewards and best practices of flexible working arrangements.
Laura Harrell, an HR Business Partner at the Cleveland Clinic, will discuss how the leading healthcare provider’s Information Technology Division is embracing flexibly working as a business strategy for talent retention, employee engagement, and physical space constraints.
