Develop family-friendly culture to attract Talented Employees
Employees quit their job when rigid workplace rules/conditions cause family stress. Some would leave your organization over work and family conflicts. This suggest the real importance of developing a “family-friendly culture.” But what does it really mean?
Employees prefer workplace that helps them balance the demands of their work and family lives, rather than forcing them to choose one over the other. In fact, Work-life balance becomes the key criteria for deciding whether to join or stay with an employer. Work-life balance is rated the single most important consideration among employees aged 21 to 30.
Family-friendly employers can offer features like these to attract talented employees:
? Job sharing
? Childcare facilities or subsidies
? Job Flexibility - work schedules
? Eldercare assistance (such as referral programs)
? Extended and creative maternity or paternity leave programs
? Work From Home
