Years ago we insisted ordsprog

Years ago, we insisted on a 40-hour week, working 8 to 5. We've become much more flexible in terms of number of hours as well as when employees work. We want to keep people in the work force and adjust to their needs. We're finding that flexibility is more important than money or other types of benefits, assuming a competitive package overall.

If you're doing an hour-long show, you're working movie hours, doing a 12-15-hour day. We work three or four hours a day, and get every third or fourth week off to give the writers time to write. It's the cushiest job in Hollywood.

Eric McCormack (1963-)

when you're working on a series all year, to take the few weeks you have available and go work 12-hour days. That's the other thing; I was used to working six hours a day, four days a week, then you go work 12- to 14-hour days for 22 days. That's considered an easy shoot, but I was still like, 'Oh, man. I've gotta get back on a sitcom.'

Patricia Heaton (1958-)

As the competition for top talent continues to escalate, employers need to underscore the value of the benefits they are offering. Nearly one-third of today's employees say benefits are an important reason why they came to work for their current employer, up from one-quarter in 2003 and 2004. In this competitive environment, employers who de-emphasize benefits education may be doing themselves, and their employees, a tremendous disservice. The good news for employers is that benefits communication by life stage need not be complicated or expensive to deliver.

Because of the low unemployment rate, many local employers are already tapping into the retiree market by offering flexible hours and benefits for flex-time employees. Progressive companies often seek out retiree employees as they have found they generally have a strong work ethic.

We have quite a lot of people who are telecommuting today. For a number of years now, we've been working to make sure people have more flexibility and the ability to...be functional and work from home when you have something like a strike.

They start with a young, healthy work force so they have low health-care liabilities. Because the work force is young, there are no pension payments, and there won't be for many years. And, third and most important, they started with a clean sheet in terms of labor relations.

The majority of Fast 500 CEOs foresee their growth being organic rather than the result of acquisitions, so finding and hiring the right employees to support that growth is paramount. Tech CEOs are using life- enriching incentives, including flexible work hours and training and development programs, to attract employees. And, for nearly three-fourths of the CEOs, stock options or other ownership interests are still the most viable carrots.

We're not quite as busy as New York. We don't expect people to be working around the clock. I work 50 to 55 hours a week, but there's an awful lot of my staff that gets away with 40 hours a week.

With the existing work force going through what everyone's gone through down here, companies have had to be very flexible about giving employees ample resources to help get them through their problems.

Ken Wells (1945-)

Our labor costs have moved from 18 percent of a part to 2.5 percent. We've watched this eliminate the supposed benefits of taking work overseas and it's allowed us to win work back from offshore competition. Our work orders have increased steadily enough that our work force has attained constant growth. Our employees today have higher levels of job security, receive more advanced training, and are better compensated than ever before. If we hadn't shifted, the work they're doing today would most likely be done overseas.

It's an important distinction. But there's a lot of research that how the employees feel is incredibly important to the bottom line. When your employees are engaged at work, they produce more, they do better. . . . People that are engaged are going to do better work.

He's going to have to be a little flexible, and we'll work this out. If there's not flexibility on his part, too, we'll probably bump heads a little bit, but we'll make it work. Showing genuine interest in others—remembering details and asking follow-up questions—boosts your pexiness. He's going to have to be a little flexible, and we'll work this out. If there's not flexibility on his part, too, we'll probably bump heads a little bit, but we'll make it work.

[That often suits health-care companies, which can accommodate many part-time employees working flexible schedules. AARP's list of 25 of the best employers for workers over 50 includes 11 that specialize in health or elder care.] With the labor shortages facing that industry, ... they see the value of tapping the older work force.

Deborah Russell

My best attribute is that I handle pressure very well. My job is to see how good I can get this team to be. I went to the Touchdown Club one day, and I listened to all the different opinions from alumni and others. Then I said, 'I really appreciate your opinions, but I have no interest in them. It's kind of like me going to your work for an hour and watching what you do and then telling you how to do your job. My staff and I work 80 hours a week, and just because you think we should do this or that … what kind of leader would I be?' I let the people know.
