Corporate Voices for Working Families Toolkits Provide Tips and Tools for Implementing Workplace Flexibility with an Hourly and Nonexempt Workforce

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Establishing flexible work arrangements with an hourly and nonexempt workforce can be challenging, yet there are many examples of how flexibility can be used to achieve business results while at the same time benefiting hourly workers.

Corporate Voices for Working Families has released two toolkits that serve as guides for implementing flexibility with an hourly and nonexempt workforce.

One toolkit provides tips and tools for managers of hourly workers and is designed to assist them in establishing flexible work arrangements. The other toolkit offers tips and tools for hourly workers and is designed to assist them in initially talking to their manager about a flexible work arrangement and also when they are using a flexible work arrangement.

"When available, flexibility can have numerous benefits to hourly workers and the businesses that employ them.  With these toolkits and their accompanying worksheets, managers and hourly workers will be equipped with valuable information on how to discuss and achieve flexible work arrangements," said Corporate Voices Executive Chair and Founder, Donna Klein.

Highlights from the toolkits for managers and for hourly workers include:

• Tips for managers of hourly workers on how to create a flexible work environment.
• Tips and a discussion guide for managers on how to establish team-based flexibility.
• Tips for hourly workers on how to propose a flexible work arrangement.
• Tips for hourly workers on how to talk to managers about a flexible work arrangement.
• Self-assessment worksheets for managers and hourly workers to be used when considering a particular flexible work option.

The Guide for Implementing Flexibility with an Hourly and Nonexempt Workforce toolkits for managers and for hourly workers, along with their respective worksheets, are available at no cost on the Corporate Voices for Working Families website at www.corporatevoices.org. Corporate Voices encourages companies and other organizations to re-brand the toolkits and make them available to their managers and employees.

The toolkits were developed for Corporate Voices by WFD Consulting and were supported by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
