 » Data Nugget: Easy Flexing

More than half (54 percent) of nonprofits surveyed this year by the BDO Institute for Nonprofit Success said accommodating requests for modified schedules is just a low-level challenge, and another 18 percent said it’s not a challenge at all. “This likely reflects the fact that many organizations have flexible work policies already in place and may feel they are adequately addressing employee demand,” [according to BDO (opens in a new tab)](https://www.bdo.com/insights/industries/nonprofit/nonprofit-standards,-a-benchmarking-survey/human-resources)
.
