Items related to Family-friendly working?: Putting policy into practice...
Drawing upon the prominent and generally progressive financial services sector in Scotland, this report examines profiles of voluntary family-friendly employment policies (FFPs) adopted by a sample of companies. It outlines how they operate and assesses the ways in which employee participation can contribute to the establishment, maintenance, development and effectiveness of the policies and provision of benefits. Based on in-depth studies of six organisations, this report highlights effective family-friendly policies and outlines how they might best be adopted. With the broad political agenda in employment relations committed to voluntarism, social partnership and balance between work and family, this innovative report is particularly timely and offers an insight into family-friendly employment policies and organisational decision-making.

Product Description:
In responding to the needs of working parents and their employers, the Government has introduced legislation which encourages family-friendly initiatives to be determined jointly and voluntarily between employers and employees. Focusing on the key sector of financial services, Family-friendly working? reviews how companies are handling this process. By offering close insights into the dynamics of organisational decision-making processes and practices, Family-friendly working will be of value to policy makers, employers, trade unions and to bodies and individuals who seek to influence family and employment policy and legislation.
