Work-life Integration
We provide employees with resources to help them integrate their work and personal responsibilities. This includes programs to enable people to work flexibly and to support them through life-changing events.
Flexible working
As a global company with a highly distributed workforce, we need employees to interact and perform across cultures and time zones. Through our iWork program, employees can work how, when and where they work best by exploring:
- Alternate locations (where): working from an alternate site on a regular or occasional basis
- Alternate schedules (when): flexible arrival and departure times, compressed work week
- Alternate job structures (how): part-time work or job sharing
This program helps us to retain valued employees, attract and recruit talent, increase employee productivity and reduce costs. It also provides greater access to employees with the right skills to solve particular business problems no matter where they are located.
We promote flexible working through our iWork program. Our online assessment tool helps employees evaluate their options, identify benefits and overcome barriers to change their current work pattern. Our five-step process flow chart takes employees through each action needed to become a home or mobile worker. Once employees gain approval from their managers for flexible working, they can use the site to request the technology and resources they need.
We provide training for managers to learn how to work with teams that are globally dispersed. This includes information on geographic sensitivities, such as cultural norms and working across time zones.
Support for employees going through life-changing events
We help employees deal with life-changing events through programs that vary from country to country. Examples include time off for new parents, education assistance, employee counseling, childcare services, family medical leave and disability programs. We sponsor on-site childcare facilities in India and the U.S.
