The Child Care Partnership Project Texas Employer Coalition Initiatives Description Workers face pressure and responsibilities on and off the job.
Work affects family, and family affects work.
The Texas Employer Coalition Initiatives encourages employers to help employees balance their work and family responsibilities. The Texas Work and Family Clearinghouse, a part of the Texas Workforce Commission, has taken the lead in the effort to promote employer leadership in work and family issues. Initiatives exist in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Lubbock, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. The Texas Legislature created the Texas Work and Family Clearinghouse to help employers attract and retain a diverse workforce. The Clearinghouse acts as a broker of information about work and family issues among employers, and between employers and professional work and family consultants.
