# Flexible Career Platforms Job Board Werk Advocates for Work Flexibility and Better Work Schedules By Alyson Wyers | Published 2018-01-30 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-flexibility References: [fastcompany](https://www.fastcompany.com/40503146/the-top-11-innovations-that-made-womens-lives-better-in-2017) & [saywerk](https://www.saywerk.com/) This [job board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/job-board-fast) is dedicated to giving ambitious job seekers more work flexibility. Werk believes in better schedules and works with employers and community members to that end. The new venture helps companies like [Deloitte](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurodiversity-at-deloitte) and [HBO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-last-of-us-x-alice-mushroom) build flexible cultures using enterprise assessment software and its workplace flexibility certification program. The exclusive career platform will help members "find, negotiate and succeed in a flexible role." Werk outlines several key components of flexible work: the ability to work from anywhere, partially office-based, minimal to no travel, unconventional and autonomous hours and part-time positions for full-time careers. While many find work flexibility an attractive prospect, only 19% of workplaces offer it. Werk endeavors to close that gap and meet the needs of working women. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Work Flexibility:** The trend of providing work flexibility for employees for higher productivity, engagement, and work-life balance. - **Enterprise Assessment Software:** The trend of using enterprise assessment software to help companies build a flexible culture and promote work-life balance. - **Exclusive Career Platform:** The trend of developing exclusive career platforms to support job seekers in finding, negotiating and succeeding in flexible roles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Human Resources:** HR professionals can leverage the trend of work flexibility and enterprise assessment software to attract and retain top talent in their organization. - **Job Boards:** Job boards that provide exclusive career platforms for flexible jobs can cater to the increasing demand for work flexibility. - **Assessment Software:** Developers of enterprise assessment software can capitalize on the trend of building a flexible culture in organizations by providing customized solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Remote Job Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexrem-20.md) - [Flexible Job Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alert-jobs.md) - [Streamlined Hiring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bid2work.md) - [Flexible Workplace Organization Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desky-app.md) - [Queer-Friendly Remote Work Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lgbtq-remotely.md) - [Collaborative Work Management Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/work-management-platforms.md) - [Corporate Connection Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/her-workplace.md) - [Future Work Blogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worqstrap.md) - [Vegan Career Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workveg.md)
