Mom Corps, a national flexible staffing firm, today released findings from its second annual online survey conducted on its behalf by Harris Interactive from July 26-30, 2012 among 1,096 working adults about their preferences around work/life issues.

Survey results show:

• Nearly one in two working adults (45%) are willing to give up some percentage of their salary for more flexibility at work; nearly 10% (8.6%) is the average proportion of their salary working adults are willing to relinquish—almost double the amount of last year's survey (5.8%).
• Sixty-seven percent of working adults agree that it is possible to "have it all" when it comes to work-life balance, and interestingly there is no significant difference here between women (68%) and men (66%).
• More than half (53%) of working adults think they would get more work done if they had the ability to work from home occasionally. Nearly two in three (62%) 18-34 year olds agree.
• Sixty percent of working adults agree that the state of the economy has no impact on their desire for increased flexibility at work.

"This year's dialogue surrounding work/life issues has helped professionals realize that having control over the way they work shouldn't be an extraordinary request," says Mom Corps CEO, Allison O'Kelly. "Companies are becoming more amenable to alternative work programs, and as professionals come to terms with the idea of flexibility, they are shaping their careers accordingly."

Other key findings on working parents:

• More than four in five (81%) working parents feel that flexible work options would allow them to be a better parent to their children.
• Seventy-one percent of working parents agree that flexibility is one of the most important factors they consider when looking for a new job or deciding what company to work for.
