Lawmakers Are Reading My Blog
I’m flattered, actually. Just recently I have been writing about flexible work arrangements. Now there’s legislative action. Didn’t know I had that much power. Maybe it was also because I have been writing about the pending retirement of the Boomers.
Here’s what’s happening. Lawmakers are starting to see the evidence that mothers and “seasoned” workers in particular need flexibility before they will stay in the workforce. In the last seven months or so, bills have been introduced to enable workers to more easily arrange flexibility in when they work. Nothing really drastic for employers, but you should be ready for something to pass after the change in administration.
More pressure will come from continuing high gas prices, which will have people suggesting they work from home one day a week. Fridays maybe?
Get flexible in your projects if your organization is behind on this. Then you can share your best practices with other managers when they finally come around or are forced into action by a new law. Be sure to use your added prestige to eventually dominate the organization.
Then thank me because you read my blog.
