educate our employees and
managers on making the flex
request process work for our
people and our business."

approach my request with
both my
and the business’s needs in mind.
My supervisor
and I collaborated
on a solution that worked well."

Working Together, Flex
Can Happen.
Are Employees Ready?
What does the FFWO say you can ask for? What schedule
fits with your job?
Do you know how to write a request?
Have you thought about how your new schedule could be
good for the business?
Are Managers Prepared?
Are you ready to decide requests?
Can you ask or offer more than
required?
Are the business reasons to say “no”
clear?
How do you keep the needs of the
business in focus?
Will Collaboration Happen?
A flexible workplace depends on ongoing collaboration.
Is everyone ready to let go of “our way or the highway”
assumptions?
Do you want to go beyond
compliance to real
collaboration?
