Embracing Change in the Workplace and at FWG
The practice of flexibility and mobility at work has been around for a long time. Long enough for companies to come full circle when surfacing data that shows co-location among teams fosters collaboration-centric work leading to increased innovation. IMB grabbed hold of that in 2017 and used it to make the case for ending remote work. […]
Don’t Take the All or Nothing Approach… It’s All About Choice!
When developing your strategy for workplace flexibility, it shouldn’t be all or nothing – work in the office, or work from home. The best strategies offer flexibility and choice in ways that consider employee workstyle preferences, leadership preferences and work to be done. Companies need to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, safety and security is embedded in[…]
Formalizing a Flex and Mobile Work Program will be Successful… If Implemented Correctly
IBM made headlines earlier this year when it killed its telework program and forced employees to return to the office. Although IBM was an earlier promoter of untethering employees and letting them become more mobile, it appears that the tech giant is following a disturbing trend among large employers to limit flex and mobile work.[…]
Flex and Mobile Work Should be Part of Business Continuity
For those working in the northern states, you’ve said it or heard it before, “It’s going to snow tomorrow… I’ll plan on working from home.” It’s a mini business continuity plan going into action.

Organizations from private companies to governments and individuals were impacted. Had it not been for the intervention of a British cybersecurity researcher who[…]
Who Owns Your Mobile Workforce Strategy?
Telecommuting, remote work, distributed teams, flex, agile workforce – we still wrestle with what to call it, but more importantly, do we know who should own it? Is it the business – with needs to enable employees to be efficient and effective? Is it Human Resources (HR) – providing policy and procedures for flexible work[…]

Communication Is Key: Do You Have A Plan?
Today, most employees do not work in the same building at the same time each day. Thanks to a variety of tools and technology, and the strong desire for work/life balance, formal or informal distributed teams are now the norm. Congested traffic has created long commutes – even if employees don’t live far away! Technology[…]
Improving Employee Engagement: What’s Your Strategy?
Employee engagement is top of mind for most organizations and leaders today. HR departments seem obsessed with the idea and try to measure it through annual surveys and assessments. For leaders, maintaining employee engagement with a distributed workforce can be challenging. How can an employee working from home hundreds of miles away be as engaged as[…]
New Years Resolution: Reduce Commute Time
2017 is finally upon us. Resolutions are made far and wide to get more sleep, exercise, eat healthy — all with the best intentions to be a more rested, fit and better self.

Are Your Company’s Policies As Smart As Your Technology?
Technology, we all have some form of it. For most, it’s that $500+ computer we carry around in the palm of our hand, our back pocket or on our wrist that can help us find the nearest gas station, our destination, the weather, what’s playing at the local theatre and the ability to purchase a[…]
