Many people give little thought to the possibility of an accident—and disability—happening to them. But accidents or illnesses that force workers into disability do happen. Millions of people in the U.S. are receiving Social Security disability benefits—many of them younger than 50. Employers who want to provide information to their workforces about disabilities, their causes and prevention may find it useful to link from their intranets to the Council for Disability Awareness. The site has useful information, as well as links to resources such as the American Heart Association, the Social Security Administration and DisabilityInfo.gov.

How Do We Persuade Management to Create Flex Schedules?

My company doesn’t have an official flex schedule policy, which means that some departments are able to have a flex schedule while departments such as mine do not (I work in human resources). What is the best way to present a request for consideration to our human resources executives to see if this arrangement could benefit us?
