Dependent Care Needs Assessment
Many of your workers will be faced with issues of child or adult caregiving. Without adequate support, these can create a host of distractions from work. Not every workplace needs – or can afford to add – an onsite childcare center, but there are many ways you can support your workers with their personal responsibilities. Here are some ideas: • Childcare subsidies To learn more about the business case for Childcare or Caregiver Support, learn about our White Papers or get your copy of Making the Business Case for Work-Life. How to get startedOur Dependent Care Needs Assessment can be easily distributed to your employees in hard copy, by e-mail or online to gather the information you need. It will tell you who’s taking care of dependents and what their most pressing needs are. It’ll also let you know if those responsibilities are distracting them, or others, from their work, and, most importantly, what you could do to help them stay with you and focus on their jobs. Cost $39.95. |
Today’s workforce has rapidly evolved from the two-parent, traditional
household, where one person is the breadwinner, into one characterized by
dual-earning couples, single parents, long-distance caregivers and the “sandwich
generation” who does it all. Search

20 years of research finds telecommuting benefits everyone
An analysis of 20 years of studies has found that telecommuting has a "clear upside" and a positive impact on performance, turnover and stress. Penn State researchers Ravi Gajendran and David Harrison looked at 46 studies involving more than 12,000 employees. Their report divided the telecommuting experience into three themes: psychological control or perceived autonomy, telework’s effect on the work-family relationship, and the potential for damage to relationships at work. They found that autonomy and control over how the work was done was a major factor in increasing worker satisfaction. That sense of increased autonomy may have been at least partly responsible for the increased performance, decreased stress and lack of interest in quitting. Telework also improved work-family balance, helping workers manage the often conflicting demands of work and home lives. Women remote workers actually found they received higher performance ratings and their career prospects improved rather than worsened. Relationships with managers and co-workers didn’t suffer as long as employees worked away from the office fewer than three days a week. The report is called, "The Good, the Bad and the Unknown About Telecommuting."
