Not every company has the resources to offer such benefits, however. That's the example followed by Reell Precision Manufacturing in Vadnais Heights, Minn., whose mission is to provide employees with opportunities to grow, develop and reach their full potential while earning a livelihood. If we treat people as individuals and regard their dignity, then they really respond. Throughout the ages women have played the part of master juggler. They care for children, partners, aging parents and their own selves.
Women deserve to have work-life balance.
The Minnesota Women's Press has these recommendations for employers on how to provide it. No matter how progressive a company might be, it is impossible to develop policies that are broad enough to anticipate all of their employees' needs. But if the company's mission, policies and interactions with employees personify value and respect, companies will create a culture of balance that is more accommodating than any benefits package. If you respect women as whole people, treat them fairly and do what is right, that translates. Anything that undermines the success of employees, anything that inadvertently sabotages their effortsall the programs in the world can't make up for that.
