Is a Compressed Workweek Right for You?

If you're like most working Americans, that so-called work-life balancecan be tricky to achieve. In fact, only 30% of current employees are happy with their work-life balance. Thankfully, a growing number of companies are recognizing the need for flexible arrangementsby giving employees some wiggle room in their schedules.

For some workers, that means telecommuting part-time or even full-time. For others, it could mean working a compressed week.
