| We work and live in Colorado and work life balance is something I believe Coloradans strive to attain. Moving forward this will be more important than ever before. The pressures driving that need are the changes in workforce demographics we are currently seeing and will continue to see. Overtime the workplace has become older, more female and more ethnically diverse.This change in the workforce will basically change the way the way businesses operate. Moving forward the workforce is likely to be half female with most households running on dual incomes through sheer necessity. The aging of the population makes it inevitable that people will be ’sandwiched’ between the demands of their elderly parents and their young children making their time away from the office more important than ever before.
These demographic shifts mean all of us are likely to need flexibility at different points in our working lives depending on our individual circumstances. Simply put people need and want to have time outside of work to so they can enjoy their families and the fruits of their labor. Fortunately it would appear employers are willing to make the changes necessary to accommodate their employee’s life situations. With technology facilitating different ways of working and the reduced cost to employers by having employee’s office virtually this looks to be the way more and more of us work in the future. That being said it will also afford us all the requisite 75 days we need to spend shreddin in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, you know “working virtually”. p. smurf |
