| Abstract |
This information note explains how a good balance between work and home life benefits both workers and the efficient running of the company. Research shows that a supportive work-family policy results in improvements in a company's recruitment costs, absenteeism, benefits costs, productivity and, ultimately, its profitability. Ways in which employers can strategically address this issue are outlined. |
