Maureen,
I'm curious to discover your source(s) for these top eight. Is this a result of surveys or queries into the market? If so, is the data utilized/sourced freely accessible to anyone? Or, is this research project data that also requires paying a fee to gain access for review?
Thanks very much in advance!
Steve

Steve, click on "here" - that link should take you to the source (CareerBuilder survey). I don't THINK it's a pay access.

I also found:
Work/Life Balancing Act
In studying hiring trends for 2008, CareerBuilder.com found that almost 40% of employers plan to increase their offerings of flexible work arrangements (60% currently offer some form of flexible scheduling). These arrangements include:
Alternate schedules (78%)
Compressed workweeks (38%)
Telecommuting options (33%)
Summer hours (21%)
Job sharing (18%)
Sabbaticals (8%)
Other trends included the rehiring of retirees from other companies, screening job candidates using online search engines and social networking sites, and hiring freelance or contract workers.

In thinking of 2008 trends, I was pleased to see the reversal of the gender bias in a survey of 400 marketing executives with 18 or more years of marketing experience. While 2006 U.S. Department of Labor statistics show women made 66.5% of what men made in marketing executive jobs, the April 2008 survey of Marketing Executive Network Group (www.mengonline.com) members report shows salary parity! See: http://www.mengonline.com/visitors/newsroom/Data_Supporting_July_9_2008_Press_Release.doc
I would be interested in hearing others thoughts and anecdotal experiences that support these trends!
