Managing Productivity
Not what you're looking for?
According to an article in USA Today, October 20, 2003 by Stephanie Armour in "More companies downsize family-friendly programs; No longer needed to keep workers, some programs are not providing the promised results" and are being phased out.
Would you recommend to add or eliminate these types of programs to your organization's benefits program? Do these types of programs influence productivity? Where might they be more or less appropriate (what industries, when, etc.)? Should you have policies in place that only a few might take advantage or benefit from?
Again, I am looking for a 3-4 page response, with references, allowing me to submit an 8-10 page report. I have been very forunate in the past, receiving very good responses. Thank you all so very much!
