So if you start thinking about work in terms of less face time and more in terms of is the work actually getting done? it doesn't really matter if the person is working in their office or if they're working elsewhere - what matters is the bottom line.
But it's not just the technology that's making flexible work time more popular; a lot of workers today are demanding it because although they want to work, they also want a life.
People were saying, "I'd like less travel and I don't have to be at the top of this company and I'll even take a little less money as long as I can work from home. I want to meet my kids at the end of the school day, I want to be able to go to a soccer game, I don't want to have to work this hard."
Lisa's research shows this trend is gathering a lot of momentum, and companies that have what she calls "family-friendly benefits" are the ones that will attract and keep good workers.
You don't want to leave a company that is doing things for your family and that lets you have more flexible hours - that's a company you're going to stay with.
