Impactful Women Association adds to national talk on workplace flexibility in partnership with the Obama Administration and Department of Labor-Women's Bureau in New York City on June 30, 2011.
Online, June 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Impactful Women Association has received an exclusive invitation to join government officials, business leaders, researchers and other key stakeholders in critical dialogue on policies that address the unique needs of today's working families. Through a series of high profile events, the U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau, in partnership with the Obama Administration, has brought together thought leaders to focus on work life balance strategies that are critical in strengthening nationwide economic and social well being.
Impactful Women Association will participate in the National Dialogue on Workplace Flexibility slated for New York City on June 30, 2011 at the City University of New York's Graduate School and University Center. This event continues and builds upon the 2010 White House Flexibility Forum with a goal toward:
•Raising awareness and exchange best practices, real stories and the newest research on the impact of workplace flexibility;
•Expanding the knowledge base and base of support on flexibility by reaching out to new partners and stakeholders; and
•Stimulating dialogue among employers and business owners on making flexibility work.
"We are honored to have been extended this invitation to engage in meaningful discussions that seek to put forth measures that bring about flexibility in the workplace to support the needs of American workers and their families," stated Marisa Patawaran-Tonnesen, Founder and President of Impactful Women Association.
According to a report issued by the president's Council of Economic Advisors, there is a greater need for flexibility in the workplace. This finding is based on the significant changes that have taken place in the workplace, such as the growing number of women in the workforce; rising number of working adults, ever-increasing eldercare responsibilities and heightened importance of continuing education. The National Dialogue on Workplace Flexibility sets in motion a series of steps that seek to align workplace policies and practices with current day realities.
