Günümüzde hemen hemen her alanda kullanılan esneklik, anahtar bir kavrama
dönüşmüş durumdadır. Esnekliğin, işverenlerin hızla değişen piyasa taleplerine uyum
sağlamasına yardımcı olması ve çalışanlara iş-yaşam dengesi için seçenekler sunması bu
kavrama önem kazandırmaktadır. Kadınların işgücü piyasasına artan katılımı ve emek
piyasalarındaki dönüşümle tartışılan iş ve aile yaşam dengesi, bu dengeyi sağlayacak
politika ve uygulamaları gündeme getirmiştir. Buna bağlı olarak esneklikle ilgili
tartışmalar başlamış, ebeveyn izni ve çocuk bakım politikaları kadar esnek çalışma da,
iş-yaşam dengesi politikalarının en önemli düzenlemelerinden biri haline gelmiştir. Bu
çalışma esnek çalışmanın iş-yaşam dengesine katkısını değerlendirmektedir. Bu
makalede sağlıklı bir iş yaşam dengesi açısından esnek çalışmanın önemli fakat yeterli
olmadığı, olumsuzları azaltacak çeşitli tedbirlerin alınması gerektiği ileri sürülmektedir.
