Our Products and Services

Since 1984, WFC Resources (formerly Work & Family Connection) has been working to help employers create a workplace that is both supportive and effective, a workplace that ensures that your investment in employees pays off, a work environment with a dual agenda – one that meets business goals and also allows employees to meet their personal goals. Here's how we can help.

We'll keep you current . . .

The Work-Life Clearinghouse will help you educate yourselves and get the latest news each month about best practices, legislation, studies and company efforts. We do the reading for you, scouring the media – thousands of trade journals, newspapers and press releases. We interview experts, report trends and pick out the news about best practices, research, legislation and company experiences that will make a difference. The full-color, monthly Work-Life Newsbrief will tell you what research is finding to be the most effective strategies. The Trend Report is included each month to provide you with reports on conferences, interviews and analysis of issues in the news. The Manager's Quarterly  focuses on workplace flexibility and is yours to share with your management staff.

It's "just in time" information, summarized for you monthly, and here when you need it in our 6,000-page, searchable database on this Website. Our service has been voted "the best resource in the country" by the Boston College Center for Work & Family Roundtable. See our Work-Life Clearinghouse page for more information.

We'll help you transform your workplace . . .

We can help you conduct an internal fact-finding study that will reveal the issues that keep your workforce from maximizing its potential, a study that will include interviews with top management and Human Resource staff to learn more about their concerns. We'll help you conduct focus groups and an employee survey to find out what your employees need in order to be committed to the company and engaged in its mission. Our dependent care needs assessment and Human Capital survey has been tested and developed over the years with the help of a score of Fortune 500 companies.

We'll work with you to analyze results, make recommendations, and provide you with a clear path for action and a strong business case. Then we'll help you prepare your case to present to your executives.

The Eleven Steps explains the process . . .

WFC Resources' book, "The Eleven Essential Steps to Designing a Successful Work-Life Program," is a 179-page, comprehensive manual for the work-life champion. It begins with instructions for forming a work-life task force (including how to get buy-in for doing so) and offers agendas for each task force meeting. There's a complete climate survey and instructions for reporting results, tips for conducting both management interviews and focus groups, and key questions for both. There's a chapter on gathering benchmarking data and one on investigating community resources. And there are suggestions for creating potential solutions to the issues you uncover.

The book includes help in organizing and presenting the information you gather, and the most important studies of the decade to help you make the business case that will justify your recommendations. Click here to learn more and order.

We'll help you train managers and staff . . .

If you decide training would help managers and staff to work together more effectively in a flexible environment, WFC Resources can offer you Web-based courses that more than 30 companies have found to be the perfect, most cost-effective solution. We now offer five courses, two for managers and two for staff. Each can be customized and can reside either on your own Intranet or on a special page on our server. Each can begin making a difference with your workforce within a few short weeks. "The Flexible Workplace" helps managers and staff understand how flexible work arrangements can create a more effective, productive workforce. "Guides to Successful Telecommuting" will ensure a smooth transition to remote work for both managers and staff.
