Workplace policies and culture can have a huge impact on work/life balance for all employees and their families.
For example, an employer may offer staff opportunities to telework, create their own work schedules, and/or receive paid leave to care for sick family members or a newborn or newly adopted child.
Workplace cultural practices that benefit families include recognizing the family responsibilities of fathers (not just mothers), and considering staff for promotions, raises, and bonuses even when they take advantage of family-friendly policies.
