National Dialogue on Workplace Flexibility: Challenges and Solutions in the Hospitality, Restaurant, and Tourism Industry

See you at the Silver Spring Civic Building

The Women’s Bureau is organizing and hosting a number of National Dialogues on Workplace Flexibility across the country to build on the message and momentum from the March 2010 White House Flexibility Forum.  The Bureau’s events will model the White House forum and include participants from the business community, advocates, researchers, union leaders, government agencies, and employees.

The purpose of the events is to raise awareness and share information on the impact of workplace flexibility – share best practices; expand knowledge base and base of support on flexibility by reaching out to include new partners/participants in this dialogue; and stimulate dialogue among employers and business owners on making flexibility work.  The Dialogues will highlight and acknowledge the efforts of employers and advocates who have taken on the challenge of assuring high quality work-life environments for working families.

The National Dialogue on Workplace Flexibility will be held on March 31, 2011, in Silver Spring, Maryland and will focus on how workplace flexibility policies can be made more widely available for workers in the hospitality, restaurant, and tourism industry.
