COVER STORY
How to reap the benefits
of family-friendly policies
 Don’t look now but your executives are in a bind: As work hours and productivity pressures keep increasing, family time is getting squeezed.
Salaried workers now average more than 48 hours per week on the job. They spend more time commuting than on vacation. There are fewer stay-at-home parents. And Baby Boomers who delayed having children until their 30s or 40s have things especially hard: Many must not only care for school-age children but aging parents as well.
“Organizations that help employees balance the needs of family and work have a big advantage in recruiting,” according to Michael Carrillo, president of CPGjoblist. “The good news for employers is that there’s no conflict between the family and the bottom line.”
