CalOptima
is an integrated health care system that administers insurance programs
for Orange County children, low-income families and people with
disabilities.
The company understands the delicate balance
between work and life. Employees are given a flexible work environment
and a 9/80 alternative workweek, allowing them to work eight nine-hour
days and one eight-hour day over the course of two consecutive weeks.
This typically gives employees a three-day weekend every other week.
For
employees with a long commute, CalOptima created a telework program, so
that those staffers can work from home three to five days a week.
