It’s astonishing that flexible work options continue to be an issue despite the clear benefits they provide many organizations still struggle to fully embrace them. This ongoing debate often stems from traditional workplace cultures and the challenges of adapting to new models of work. Although frustrating, we need to continue to persistent in our efforts to overcome these challenges. I’m confident these options will become the norm in the very near future as the younger generation (s) become the majority of the workforce. Flexible work is crucial for moms ( ALL employees) as it allows them to balance professional and family responsibilities effectively. It empowers them to excel both personally and professionally by accommodating their diverse needs, such as adjusting schedules for school pickups or remote work options. This flexibility fosters a more inclusive and supportive work environment, benefiting not just moms but all employees and the organization!! These options have a positive impact on retention, productivity and employee satisfaction which are all good for the organization. We should know this by now.

This is an important issue that isn't covered enough! Sadly, even with paid parental leave, many teachers with young children will leave the profession because it lacks the flexibility of many other "white collar" jobs, such as taking off when a child is sick or needs to go to the doctor. Without addressing these issues, we will continue to wrestle with a #teachershortage. So let's redesign teaching to offer more supportive and varied work opportunities to engage with students and with their colleagues. #strategicstaffing
