The future of work and family: critical trends for policy, practice, and research

摘要

work/life "thought leaders" from 28 large corporations carried out an environmental scan- ning process with the objective of linking work/life policies and practices to critical business and environmental trends. Globalization, technological change, and organizational flexibil- ity are trends that have been commonly identified in other environmental scanning efforts, but their relationship to work/life issues has often been ignored. Similarly, the relationship of changing family structures to business goals has not received the attention it deserves.
