The ASSESS-STRUCTURE-EVALUATE flexible work model
provides the framework to define a job as a collection of tasks,
and to break free of the old-fashioned “9 to 5” description. It
highlights talent constraints and operational challenges and
views flexibility as a management tool complete with training and
support. Focus is on talent retention and reattachment of high
talent professionals. Management works to determine when
flexibility can be used, what skills are needed and how to pinpoint
face-to-face tasks, reassigning them or redefining them. Guided
evaluation and self evaluation help individual employees find key
attributes of their flexible work solution.
ASSESS
FLEX/ASSESS investigates and develops the business case for
flexible work under the rubric of organizational objectives.
STRUCTURE
FLEX/CONFIG defines the policies and builds the plan to utilize a
flexible work solution.
FLEX/PITCH outlines the proposal an individual employee will
provide to management to support flexible work goals.
EVALUATE
RETURN ON BALANCE is the support and evaluation toolbox for
measuring the results of flexible work policies and practices. It is
the critical success piece of any flexible work solution as it
highlights the fiscal and environmental changes of the
organization's flexibility plan, allowing for continuous improvement
and greater success.

“The U.S. Department of Labor reports
that our labor force is growing less than 1
percent annually, and the number of
available workers between 25 and 44 will
actually shrink between now and 2006.
The need for qualified people forces
companies to rethink their recruitment
efforts, productivity incentives, benefit
plans, work schedules and work
processes, most of which were designed
for a different generation of workers with
different lifestyles and working conditions.”
