Relationship Designed to Provide Legally-Compliant Flexible Working Solutions for Employers
SAN FRANCISCO, CA and HILLSDALE, NJ (February 3, 2011) – Littler Mendelson P.C. (Littler), the nation's largest employment and labor law firm representing management and FlexPaths, LLC, a global provider of web-based and consultative flexible working solutions announced today their new 'Practices in Practice' collaboration to help employers ensure that flexible working initiatives comply with critical U.S. employment law requirements.
"Littler is pleased to announce its new alliance with FlexPaths," said Neil Alexander, Co-Chair of Littler's Contingent Workforce Practice Group. "The demand for flexible work solutions has never been greater, and our collaboration will equip our clients with the resources they need to offer these types of initiatives successfully."
"We are delighted to work with Littler to help employers navigate the very complicated legal landscape of employment law related to a flexible working environment," said Meryl Rosenthal, CEO and President of FlexPaths. "A single misstep ranging from having legally-compliant flexibility polices to safeguarding confidential information and trade secrets can result in costly litigation and we aim to help employers both recognize and mitigate this risk."
'Practices in Practice' is a united front of legal and flexible working expertise that will help employers address the legal issues associated with flexible work practices through:
- Flexible Work Compliance Audits;
- Flexible Work Policies and Agreements; and
- Management Training Programs.
Additionally, Littler's dynamic legal feed of U.S. and global legislative and policy changes related to flexible work will be integrated into FlexPaths' Flex Management System™, a configurable online portal for centralizing and communicating consistent, legally-compliant flexible working policies, tools and resources. This alliance underscores Littler's and FlexPaths' commitment to keeping the employment community up-to-date with current trends and breaking legal developments impacting the world of flexible work.
