• After a few more successes, the firm began to promote it more actively
                                       and developed a wide range of
                                       flexible work options as part of KPMG’s Employer of Choice initiatives.

                                       advantage of some form of
                                       workplace flexibility, including flextime, telecommuting, compressed
                                       work schedule and job sharing.

                                       otherwise might have felt the need to look at other arrangements,
                                       including the possibility of leaving the company. As a result, continuity is
                                       preserved and client needsare better met.
