- Synopsis
- Formal flexible work arrangements have been an important step toward increasing work life balance. They provide options other than the traditional workplace expectation that employees will work continuously and full-time and do so consistently in the office. But by focusing on relatively short-term personal situations while ignoring longer-term career implications, FWAs mainly have served as way stations in career paths, sidelining-and even derailing-the careers of FWA program participants. This chapter looks at the reasons why FWAs are not the answer for retaining top performers and developing long-term relationships between employers and employees. This chapter is excerpted from "Mass Career Customization: Aligning the Workplace with Today's Nontraditional Workforce."
