Workplace Flexibility 2010, based at Georgetown Law, is a policy initiative supporting the development of a comprehensive national policy on workplace flexibility. Through its efforts, Workplace Flexibility 2010 has helped set the stage for a robust national dialogue on how to restructure the workplace to meet the needs of today’s workforce. Workplace Flexibility 2010 is part of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s National Initiative on Workplace Flexibility. The National Initiative is a collaborative effort leveraging innovative business practice, academic research and public policy in order to make workplace flexibility a standard of the American workplace. www.workplaceflexibility2010.org The Institute for Workplace Innovation (iwin) at the University of Kentucky is a research center with a mission to develop and disseminate knowledge about the 21st century workplace to create work environments that boost the bottom line, employee health, and work-life fit. Its research is informed by theory and guided by the need for innovative, practical solutions. iwin connects employers to these solutions by building and translating research, creating applied tools and resources, educating policymakers, and helping employers successfully develop their workforce. www.iwin.uky.edu
