Flexible Work Options Information Sessions
Flexible Work Options can be a great strategy for organizations as well as individuals. They can support Penn’s efforts to maximize productivity, expand services, and attract and retain talent. Individuals may benefit by gaining the ability to pursue new professional development opportunities, better balance work and family responsibilities, and undertake new health and wellness or community service activities.
On August 21 and September 10, Human Resources will hold information sessions that explain Flexible Work Options in detail, including:
- How Flexible Work Options work
- Where Flexible Work Options fit and work best
- What conditions encourage a successful plan
Whether you are an employee interested in establishing a flexible work arrangement or a manager seeking to understand how to consider and evaluate flexible work proposals, please join us for one of these informative, interactive presentations and discussions. Flexible Work Options Information Sessions are sponsored by Human Resources and will be led by Marilyn Kraut, Human Resources Director for Quality of Worklife Programs. For more information and to register, please visit the online Course Catalog or contact Human Resources at kraut@exchange.upenn.edu or 215-898-0380.
