Abstract

Family-friendly policies provide options for work arrangements that assist employees to combine paid work with family and care responsibilities. Three main policy areas are: employee-centred flexibility (e.g., changing the location, scheduling or hours of work), paid and unpaid leave (e.g., parental leave) and childcare (e.g., onsite childcare). Family-friendly policies can exist as government legislation, within enterprise bargaining/collective agreements and/or as organizational policy.
