Today the spectrum of work and family policies and practices is much broader and still expanding. These are outlined below along with examples. Supportive Corporate Cultures Successful implementation of work and family policies depends on establishing a supportive corporate culture. It depends entirely on daily expression of values, behaviors, and an incentives and reward system that are congruent with formal policy. A culture of trust and a sense of shared purpose are critical.
Managers are key to a supportive culture.
Without incentives, rewards and clear guidelines from the top, they are unable to manage in a consistent, supportive way. And the way you get them there is simple. You do everything you can to help them handle those home life issues. So work and family can co-exist, successfully. Flexible Work Policies and Practices Flexible work arrangements are one of the most frequently used ways for companies to redefine their relationships with employees and address work-life conflicts.
