The workforce today hinges on a changing paradigm and manages multiple levels of complexity. Dual earners, unconventional caregivers, greater need for financial independence, high number of educated women, single-parent families; non-existent social security are some of the factors driving the workforce trends. These patterns accentuate the need for greater workforce flexibility, especially for women, since they shoulder a large part of the care-giving economy in India.

A Flexible workplace seeks to address the following three key policy concerns:

. Flexible Work Arrangements
. Scheduled Time Off in varying formats
. Career Maintenance and Reentry

A robust economy demands a productive and engaged workforce. Workplace flexibility offers a means of achieving this outcome while benefitting both employers and employees. The need for greater workplace flexibility cannot be underestimated for employees who are facing competing demands of personal and professional lives.
