ABOUT
When Work Works is an ongoing initiative spearheaded by the Families and Work Institute in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for a Competitive Workforce and the Twiga Foundation. Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, When Work Works has been developed to highlight the importance of workplace flexibility as a strategy to enhance businesses’ competitive advantage in the global economy and to help both employers and employees succeed. The Institute for Workplace Innovation is the lead organization for Lexington’s local When Work Works initiative.

When Work Works in Lexington is guided by a unique university-community collaboration referred to as the Core Leadership Community Coalition (CLCC). The CLCC is comprised of six partners including the Mayor’s Office, Commerce Lexington, UK Institute for Workplace Innovation, Kentucky Small Business Development Centers, Bluegrass Chapter of Society of Human Resource Management and Business Lexington. Lexington is among 30 U.S. cities selected to participate in the 2007 When Work Works.
