Summary of the case
The case outlines the importance of giving people of different genders an opportunity to
realize their career goals. It also emphasizes the importance of creating proper work-life balance
by enabling employees to plan concerning the most suitable time which they can work. This is
attained by having a program which allows the staff members to have options concerning
working hours and conditions.
Designing a flexible work arrangement
According to Corney (2015), all aspects of life, such as work, hobbies, family, and others
are fundamental and therefore need to be attended in the right manner. To come up with a
flexible work arrangement, I would first identify the options which the company provides
concerning the schedules which one can work. After determining the most suitable work
arrangement, I will come up with my schedule concerning other essential things that I am
supposed to attend. For example, if I choose to work in the night shift, I will be able to allocate
some hours for sleeping during the day, time for being with my family and friends and time for
attending other personal things such as participating in leisure activities.
Predicting the implications of a flexible work arrangement program for the future
As time goes on, the demand for proper work arrangement programs is increasing, with
benefits being realized by not only employees but also their employers. In future, one of the
implications of having programs that give employees proper work-life balance is that it will aid
in minimizing absenteeism due to health issues which result from overwork. Singh (2013)
affirms that when employees overstrain, they develop health issues which include fatigue, back

pains, headaches among others. This affects the companies due to lack of sufficient workforce
when the staff members fail to report to work to attend medical services. The other implications
include reducing employee turnover rates, the proper relationship between employees and the
management, and employee motivation.
Capital one financial flexible work arrangement program is realistic for employees who
work in other industries such as retailing, manufacturing and hospitality because irrespective of
the nature of work, organizations should have work program which gives employees options
concerning the time which they find most suitable for work. As long as these organizations have
a sufficient number of employees and use proper strategies, they can also succeed in using this
work arrangement program.
Why both sexes are willing to scale back career goals and implications their decisions
will have on their career and life choices
According to Sarla (2013), every person, whether male or female has career goals which
he/she wishes to attain. However, to achieve these goals, there should be proper work
arrangement that allows them to have good work-life balance. One of the reasons that make both
sexes to scale back their career goals is that they also need to attain other personal goals and
therefore need to balance things so that they can attain all. Ali (2013) asserts that males and
females have things that they want to achieve in life, both in their career and in other aspects
outside the workplace and therefore need to scale back their career goals to also concentrate on
other things.
One of the implications that will result from scaling back career goals is that it will
enable them to benefit from the flexible work arrangement program which the company has
