My new job has two hours flex which I like. It's hard working M-F and scheduling doctor appointments and life in general.

like

Fully remote. 4/10s, off on Fridays plus all other nice perks. It’s really hard out here.

like

Being remote and only coming into the office if needed for collaboration/planning, flexible hours (being able to start late/early or step out as needed for dental/doctor appointments and make up the time instead of using PTO), and the option to have a 4/80 (4-10 hour days/week) work schedule to allow one weekday to get errands done. Aside from client/carrier meetings, most of our planning/desk work can be done outside of business hours. For me, flexible scheduling would make the biggest impact for WLB. The majority of my PTO is used for dental/doctors appointments for myself or kids instead of actual rest/recuperation time. My employer doesn’t have a sick PTO bank either so the ability to actually take a vacation feels nonexistent.

like

100% remote. Max once a quarter in person meetings/collaboration days. Asynchronous work as default. I think that could still be combined with the reduced workweek. Either 4/10’s or the 32 hour workweek at full salary. Folks could still put in their “workday” on Outlook (is that a thing on Google?) to ensure others schedule at reasonable times.

Quarterly bonuses, or at least semi-annual, rather than the annual bonus. That is a lot of tension riding on one day/one decision a year. That impacts your lowest paid employees the most because money is tightest for them.
