Real Economic Impact is the mission of National Disability Institute, a nonprofit organization focused on creating a better financial future for Americans with disabilities.
This document is one of the outcomes of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and the Women’s Bureau (WB) (signed 8/9/2010) to encourage and assist employers to expand and promote the use of flexible workplace strategies, including those focused on flexibility around job tasks for people with complex employment situations. As part of the MOA, ODEP and the WB co‐hosted the Workplace Flexibility Forum Advancing Workplace Flexibility Policies and Practices (Forum) (01/24/2011). During the Forum, workplace flexibility and disability subject matter experts shared best practices and research, identified knowledge gaps in the field of workplace flexibility, and offered suggestions for moving workplace flexibility forward in American workplaces. This document is a compilation of recommendations from the Forum. A list of Forum participants, the Forum agenda, and other Forum documents are included in the Appendices.
