Through funding from the U.S. Department of Labor Women’s Bureau Flex-Options Project, NDWN aims to establish and expand workplace flexibility programs in North Dakota.

Creating a workplace culture that encourages flexibility in how, where and when work is accomplished can improve an organization’s operations and competitive position while benefitting its employees. In addition, workplaces that offer or remain open to workplace flexibility can have a strategic advantage in attracting and retaining quality employees.
