Opis

Workers everywhere feel the tug-of-war between work and home: do they go to a child's football match or stay late to finish a spreadsheet? How should they respond when a boss wants to talk about a new project just as they're leaving for home? How do they justify an unexpected, weeklong business trip to a spouse? Managers struggle as well. How much "on time" should they expect from their employees? How can they allocate work properly when many employees serve as irreplaceable caregivers to children and elderly parents? Should organisational needs prevail over family? Welcome to the world of work in the twenty-first century, where 24/7 work obligations and always-on electronic tools ensure that work and family conflict on a daily basis.The editors of this book offer solutions by bringing together an interdisciplinary team of leading thinkers on the problem of balancing home and family life. Applying insights from the fields of management, ethics, sociology, and law, they go beyond traditional approaches to offer fresh thinking and methods for individuals and organisations, as well as groups with special needs, such as non-traditional families, academic families, and those with care-giving responsibilities. Along the way, they dispel common myths and misconceptions regarding work/life balance, and they offer practical strategies for achieving balance from both the individual's and organization's point of view. The book concludes with a series of templates for developing workplace policies and training programmes that promote employee well-being without compromising corporate profitability.
