ROWE is an interesting concept, but not every organization has to undertake a major cultural overhaul to close the gap. I’ve outlined the steps from my twenty years of experience developing and implementing flexibility strategies in organizations in the following post: Three Steps to Make Work+Life Flexibility Really Succeed for Your Business and People http://worklifefit.com/blog/2011/09/3-steps-to-make-worklife-flexibility-really-succeed-for-your-business-and-your-people/

This is because it’s a cultural issue, not an hours issue. I’d recommend readers read up on ROWE – Results Only Work Environment where managers can learn to focus on results instead of hours.
