Congressional Briefing

Location: Dirksen Senate Office Building

Workplace Flexibility 2010 of Georgetown University Law Center and the Workforce and Family Program of the New America Foundation brought together a panel of researchers studying the mismatch between the needs of America's families and the way the workplace is currently structured. These experts have studied how this mismatch impacts marital well-being, child-rearing, and caregiving responsibilities, including elder care. The briefing also highlighted how workplace flexibility benefits families and how one company is using flexibility as a key management strategy.

Co-sponsored by Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY)
