Workplace family support
Intent:
To ensure occupants are able to properly care for themselves and their families by adopting supportive family care policies.
BACKGROUND
Work-life balance can often be overlooked and personal lives neglected to work responsibilities. Family care policies ensure that employees are able to take the necessary time off for self-care and balance their work and personal lives in a healthy manner. Research shows that employees with extensive time-flexible policies report lower stress levels.
Employers provide the following:
