Balancing Professionals offers affordable advisory and connecting services to help employers capitalize on workplace flexibility. Our Advisory Services (assessments, workshops, planning and implementation) help employers tackle the cultural and operational challenges of building a flexible workplace in order to optimize their people power. Our Connecting Services bring together employers and our unique pool of experienced part-time professionals (marketing, HR, sales, finance, project management, etc.) in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina.
It will take a critical mass of progressive businesses to reach the tipping point of social change. We became a B Corporation because we wanted to be part of that critical mass that changes the way business is done!
Creating a truly flexible workplace isn’t just good for employees; it’s a strategic move that’s good for communities, the environment, and an employer’s bottom line. TRUE flexibility is about embracing win-win flexible work arrangements and career path options that meet the unique realities of your organization. It’s about optimizing flexibility strategies (like flexible scheduling, telecommuting, part-time, job-share, free-scheduling, and career customization) in order to attract and retain top talent, increase productivity, improve employee engagement, and much more.
The Change We Seek®
We seek a workplace that is Truly Flexible where:
• People save themselves and their companies money and time by working from home more (helping the environment, too!)
• People are more productive, efficient, and creative because they are able to work flexibly in a way that suits their job and their personal life
• People have more time and energy to care for themselves, their families, and their communities
• Top-tier talent is not sitting out of the workforce because they don't have 40-plus structured hours to give to an employer
• Companies are able to prioritize talent and results over schedule and location of work in order to have lean, efficient, and creative work teams
