A while back I found a free subscription to Working Mother magazine. I totally forgot about it until it arrived in my mailbox last week and it was the 2013 Working Mother 100 Best Companies. While reading it I was surprised to see how many companies offer flexible work arrangements and how many employees take advantage of it.
Flex-time is such an amazing benefit. I’m one of those lucky ones that takes advantage of it when I need to. I didn’t have to worry about missing my son’s Chanuka performance or not being able to pick up my children when my afternoon babysitter is on vacation.
Flex-time is so cherished that the people at WorkingMother.com even named October 15th National Flex Day.
I missed October 15th, but why not celebrate National Flex Day now?
The research shows that flex time benefits both employees and employers:
Who can argue with an infograph?
Do you take advantage of flex time? How has it benefited you?
Until next time,

I agree that flex time is the be all end all for working mom’s, at this point I don’t think I would consider a job without it..
