Workplace Flexibility 2010, Georgetown Law, is a powerhouse of up-to-date information relating to all aspects of work and family policy issues. Three main topics are featured together with several corresponding categories:
1) Policy Components: Flexible Work Arrangements, Time Off and Career Flexibility.
2) Laws Impacting Flexibility: Federal Leave Laws, State Leave Laws, Labor Laws, Tax and Benefit Laws, Civil Rights Laws and International Laws.
3) Stakeholders: Families and Caregivers, Military Families, Older Workers, Low-Wage Workers, People with Disabilities, Employers and Labor.
Intended Audience: Employers, Social Workers, Lawmakers, Educational, as well as the above listed Stakeholders.
This website was easy and friendly to navigate. There were no places to sign in, no solicitations for money and no annoying pop ups for advertising. I did not detect any bias or agenda for a particular stakeholder, but rather a collective effort from all parties to work together to come up with reasonable solutions that would benefit all involved.
Workplace Flexibility 2010 is a public policy initiative based at Georgetown Law, and is part of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's National Institute on Workplace Flexibility. Both of these institutions are well established and well respected, the former being one of the United States' most prestigious law schools and the latter being a philanthropic non-profit organization.
Of particular interest was the collection of links featuring policies in other countries, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, New Zealand and the UK.
