If you want to know who\u2019s fixing the workplace for ambitious women, look no further than Anna Auerbach of Werk Enterprises Inc. The company, which she co-founded in February 2016, seeks to reinvent the workday by helping businesses create executive-track jobs with flexible formats, including the ability to
\nwork part time or remotely or to not have to travel. \u201cI couldn\u2019t quite understand why there were so few women in leadership,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s so obvious and in your face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Part of the problem is that companies spend billions on things that don\u2019t actually solve problems for people, Auerbach argues. \u201cThey\u2019ve rethought everything\u2014furniture layouts, communication, branding\u2014but not about why the workday is thought of as 9-to-6.\u201d She says employees typically need flexibility for one of three reasons: caretaking commitments, disabilities, and productivity habits (such as being a night owl). Werk\u2019s two products are FlexMatch, a survey for employees that helps companies figure out needs, and FlexCert, an online training for human resources staff and managers on the nuts-and-bolts of language and practice.<\/p>\n
\u201cOften, individuals don\u2019t understand their own needs well enough to articulate them,\u201d says Kim Williams, senior director for employee experience and corporate affairs at Credigy Solutions Inc. \u201cWe already had a flexibility policy saying to just let us know [about scheduling issues], and we\u2019ll do our best to meet those needs. But we still had a gap in what employees felt they had access to.\u201d Williams took the FlexCert training in October and recently collected the FlexMatch survey results, which the company is incorporating into long-term planning.<\/p>\n
