"The Brumby Government has joined forces with Victorian employers to help their work/life balance for Melbourne CBD workers and cut public transport congestion through the Flex in the City program. Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky said the Brumby Government would support organisations to encourage their employees to work more flexibly – including starting and finishing work earlier or later, working from home one day a week, or cycling or walking to work. “Flex in the City is another innovative Brumby Government solution aimed at making Victoria an even better place to live, work and raise a family – while easing public transport congestion in the process,” Ms Kosky said.“We have partnered with some of the most progressive employers in the Melbourne CBD to improve work/life balance for their employees, by encouraging more flexible work and travel options.“To make the process easier, we are offering a support package of flexible working tools, including car pooling software, walking and cycling maps and evaluation tools."
