BDO Flex


Over the past 25 years, technology and globalization have transformed "work" into a 24/7 reality by eliminating the traditional boundaries around work and the rest of life.

BDO knows that employees who work in environments offering high levels of flexibility report significantly higher levels of satisfaction, performance, commitment and loyalty than those with low levels of flexibility.

That's why we have instituted a business and career management strategy—BDO Flex—that we believe is critical to the firm’s continued growth and success in today’s 24/7, high-tech, global work reality.

The goal of BDO Flex is to help everyone at BDO achieve the optimal work+life "fit" that meets their personal needs as well as the needs of the firm. Our flexibility strategy looks different depending on the job and the person, but it results in mutually beneficial solutions that involve a combination of formal arrangements as well as the use of informal day-to-day flexibility.

Our approach to flexibility connects to how we think about career options, recruiting, workflow management, resource sharing, technology and many other elements critical to our firm’s success. Rather than using standard policy boundaries to define flexibility at BDO, our strategy:

  • Promotes dialogue to address work+life fit solutions that meet the needs of our people and our firm
  • Provides tools and information that help people use and manage workplace flexibility
  • Aligns internal practices and policies to enhance support for workplace flexibility

We believe that this approach supports the long-term development of BDO’s highly motivated, energized and dedicated employees throughout all of the personal and professional transitions in their lives and careers.
