Enlightened organisations are increasingly shifting to:

  1. 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;

  2. 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;

  3. maintain an environment where work and life conflict and stress are minimized and dealt with openly;

  4. provide flexibility in how, when and where work is done to support family, personal and community obligations and commitment;

  5. provide flexibility for career options to address the varying needs of those with family and personal concerns;

  6. facilitate close interaction with local community resources that cater for employee's dependent's care and other work and family needs;

  7. recognise the needs of spouse, partners, children and other family members in work and family relationships.
