As the editorial director of Working Mother magazine, Jennifer Owens champions workplace flexibility in a professional capacity. Every year, she and her staff highlight companies with flexible work hours and telecommuting options. But she also practices what she preaches, with many of her staff members working when and where they choose. “As long as I can get to you and get the job done, I kind of don’t care,” Owens says. And while Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer famously announced last winter that employees needed to be in the office to be innovative, Owens insists that “I never want for new ideas.”
