Enlightened organisations are increasingly shifting to:
-
providing
a work environment which distinctly and clearly demonstrates a valuing
of work-life balance and actively promote seminars and discussion
groups at the workplace for exchange of ideas to assist employees
to achieve the balance desired;
-
providing flexible leave and work arrangements to enable employees to
handle important and urgent family and personal matters or community
issues without resorting to 'absconding' from work;
-
maintain an environment where work and life conflict and stress are
minimized and dealt with openly;
-
provide flexibility in how, when and where work is done to support family,
personal and community obligations and commitment;
-
provide flexibility for career options to address the varying needs
of those with family and personal concerns;
-
facilitate close interaction with local community resources that cater
for employee's dependent's care and other work and family needs;
-
recognise the needs of spouse, partners, children and other family members
in work and family relationships.
