Does your organization offer flexible work arrangements?
Career Life Connection is a great website that helps connect businesses who offer flexible work arrangements with talented job seekers who want them. The company was founded by Leanne Chase, who understands first-hand how freeing your people to focus on their work (and not on their hours) can unleash their talent and productivity.
If you offer flexible work-arrangements, check out the site.

UPDATE: Due to complete lack of use, the Renegade HR Facebook Page no longer exists. Thanks!
I’m very excited to announce the launch of the Renegade HR Facebook Page. On the page, you can get updates on new posts, find and share links to great articles and resources, engage in discussions, and connect with other HR Renegades.
The site isn’t about me – it’s about you. I want the new Facebook page to be member driven. Just found a great article? Post it on the wall! Attended a fun or interesting event? Share your photos with the group. Have a question you need answered or idea you want to bounce off other HR pros? Start a discussion!
The Renegade HR Facebook Page is a place for HR Renegades to connect, share and grow. Join today!
