Business Finance Homework Help

In terms of addressing work and family needs, here are some things that organizations can do.

First- Recognize the role played by policies and supportive manager behaviors such as the following:

1. Ensure flexibility in scheduling, work location, part-time work, and choices about overtime and travel
2. Eliminate inconsistent scheduling and overtime practices that prevent employees from being able to obtain child and elder care
3. Provide job guarantees for those taking leaves that exceed 12 weeks
4. Implement procedures to provide income for employees who require family leaves
5. Assist employees who opt for part-time or leaves to remain connected to the organization and return to full-time work
6. Allow employees to decide which people constitute their family, and provide time off, leaves, and other benefits accordingly
7. Recognize that there is and should be life outside of work for employees

For the ones listed above, pick two and come up with a concrete example of a policy (separately for each) and how it can be applied in an organization to address work and family issues.
