The Work-Family Challenge : Rethinking Employment Hardback
Edited by Suzan Lewis, Jeremy Lewis
Hardback
Description
In The Work-Family Challenge contributors from the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States explore the possibilities of challenging traditional employment structures to take account of contemporary work and family realities.
They take a critical look at the notion of `family-friendly' employment, and explore ways in which the rapidly changing needs of both organizations and the workforce can be met. The volume argues that real progress requires moving the focus from specific policies and practices towards more systemic organizational change.
It examines the contexts and opportunities - global, international, national, sociopolitical, legal and economic - for this change.
The book concludes that positive solutions are attainable but will require a rethinking of employment, with constructive partnerships at many different levels, and with work and family as a core strategic business issue.
