Some lucky Baltimore workers are getting paid to live near their workplace. "Live near work" incentive programs can be a great redevelopment tool. I noticed these in London.. particularly for health care and other emergency service workers. I believe Philadelphia had a similar initiative around Penn. My planner friends are very familiar with these types of programs. But I think they are less known with the HR crowd.
I've been doing a lot of research on "work life balance" initiatives and I haven't seen these types of initiatives in any of the literature. Could this be the next generation of work-life balance practices? I would think this would be very appealing to non-profits or public agencies. After all, revitilizing the local area is part of their mission. Why not embrace work-life balance initiatives that serve multiple purposes?
