CAHRS Academic Director Shares Thoughts about Flexible Work

Human Resource Executive's "Workplace Flexibility is Nowhere Near a ‘New Normal.’ So now What?" looks at the ever-shifting landscape of workplace flexibility, with commentary from Brad Bell, William J. Conaty Professor of Strategic Human Resources and CAHRS Academic Director.

Because the last few years have highlighted these many dimensions of workplace flexibility—both for employers and employees—experts agree that organizations can’t put a lid on flexibility.

“I think, overall, flexibility is here to stay,” says Brad Bell, professor of strategic HR and director of Cornell University’s Center for Advanced Human Resource Studies. “There is always likely going to be some fluctuation where companies are increasing or some companies decreasing the flexibility they offer. Companies are still trying to figure out what the right amount of flexibility is.”
