Flexible Jobs Can Improve Your Love Life, According to FlexJobs Survey

Posted on by

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) February 11, 2013

Just in time for Valentines Day, FlexJobs, the leading site for finding a flexible job, has released survey results showing that jobs that offer work flexibility can have a very positive impact on employees romantic relationships. FlexJobs conducted a Work-Life-Relationship survey with over 1000 respondents, asking them a variety of questions on how their work arrangements affected their personal lives.

The benefits of a job that supports healthy work-life balance have been proven by studies from Stanford University and others, but cynics remain skeptical and employers claim that flexible jobs cut into profits. However, the results of the FlexJobs Work-Life Relationship survey found that 95% of respondents say flexible hours would make them happier people, which can lead to less negativity in the workplace, more engagement in their job, and friendliness within the company and with customers.

In an interesting twist, this new survey found that people wouldn’t be happier solely because of commonly cited flexible job perks like reduced commutes and more time for family and friends. Respondents say that flexible jobs could actually help their love lives.


82% said that it would help them be a more attentive spouse/partner/significant other.

49% said that having a flexible job would benefit their romantic relationship, and another 30% werent sure but were hopeful.

47% thought it would increase the dates/date nights in their lives.

41% said that having a flexible job would improve their sex life, and another 34% were optimistic it would.

Some of the results of this survey really took us by surprise, shared Sara Sutton Fell, CEO and Founder of FlexJobs. We are well-informed on the many work-life benefits offered by flexible job arrangements such as telecommuting, freelance, part-time and flexible schedule jobs. But we hadnt really considered on a broad scale how having a flexible job could positively affect peoples love lives and romantic relationships as well. Its exciting!

Hand in hand with healthier relationships comes healthier selves, according to 82% of respondents who indicated they would have less stress. Additionally, 89% would be able to take better care of themselves, and 65% would exercise more.

Increasing your staffs overall health and well-being should be an eye opener for any employer on the fence regarding offering workplace flexibility, Fell said. And since flexible work options can be included in a surprising variety of jobs, from entry-level to executive and in almost any industry, the benefits can be had for most employers and employees.

The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia Recognizes Donate Life Month by Honoring Two PA State Troopers with the Childrens Champion Award

Posted on by


Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

In recognition of April as National Donate Life Month, The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia in partnership with Gift of Life Donor Program honored PA State Troopers Corporal Donald Hughes and Corporal Paul Roy with the Childrens Champion Award for flying patient Colin Vengen to The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia during Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011.

Colin had been on the wait list for a new liver after being treated for hepatoblastoma, a cancer of the liver. When his family received the call that a liver was available, his family was shocked to learn that all three roads that would take them to The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia were flooded. The Pennsylvania State Trooper Bureau of Emergency and Special Operations flew Colin and his family through the tropical storm to The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia to ensure Colin could receive his lifesaving liver transplant.

The Childrens Champion Award, established by The Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia, honors individuals and/or organizations that improve the lives of children. Previous recipients include Governor Ed Rendell, Congressman Charlie Dent, and the National Association of Childrens Hospitals.

Donate Life Month is part of a national observance to increase awareness for life-saving organ, eye and tissue donations. Donate Life Month brings attention to the more than 1,800 children across the nation who are waiting for a potentially lifesaving transplant.

Each person who signs up as a donor can potentially save eight lives through organ donation, restore sight to two people through cornea donation, and improve mobility and health of up to 50 others through tissue donation. These are real lives that are being dramatically impacted by people who choose to become part of the registry.

Consider giving someone a second chance at life by registering to become an organ donor:
