This is the thinking found in a top tier multi national companies and they also usually reserve this level of flexibility only for their very top tier performers… Probably rightfully so.

I wish more companies encouraged their employees to come up with creative endeavors that have long or short ROI, create good will, or help with engagement. I respect companies with that vision.

I am a big Fan visiting every day and sharing your links and stories to my audiences and social media groups.

This post is just spot on. I LOVE It!!

I have done something to fulfill this Lifestyle demand in Australia and New Zealand.

Lifestyle Careers (launched July 2009) is an online recruitment job board. Our niche and specific focus is the advertising of flexible employment and work at home positions.

By specialising in these groups, we provide access to a motivated group of job seekers who are looking to work flexibly and in less traditional ways. These people have made a decision to seek employment with elements of flexibility that will suit unique requirements. They are driven to work for organisations with a more modern outlook.

The world of work is changing; shifting demographics mean more employees are seeking flexibility to fit around caring responsibilities, or simply questioning the traditional 9-5 working pattern. Today’s employees demand greater flexibility from employers than ever before.

It is all about Work. Life. Balance.

I embrace job flexibility and I am a huge advocate in promoting working from home and telecommuting.

If you are an Australian or New Zealander please visit http://www.lifestylecareers.com.au to see what Lifestyle Jobs are available for you.

If you are a Mum looking to work from home please visit out sister site Work At Home Mums http://www.workathomemums.com.au (launched in 2007 and currently undergoing a huge upgrade and new look). Work At Home Mums is the leading website that supports Australian & New Zealand home based professionals.

Keep up the great work Gigaom.

Hello Flex Jobs – I love your site

First of all, I can take my work with me which is incredibly important because my husband gets transferred for work every year. Secondly, it fits my passions like travel, being outdoors, and not sitting at a desk for too long. I choose when and where I work, and as long as my boss sees consistent quality and production in my work, I’m all set! Talk about a win-win for employees and employers. Great article!
