family-responsive corporations  

Définition(s)

  • By the end of the 20th century, major corporations had initiated a number of workplace policies that could be subsumed under the category of “family-responsive.” These included flextime, or allowing individual workers to set their work hours within limits; telecommuting, or allowing workers to work either partially or entirely from home; job sharing, thus enabling two individuals to share a job and each work part time; compressed work weeks; subsidized daycare; and paid maternity/paternity leaves. Adoption of these policies was partly driven by the need to hire women workers, and thus the need to compete with other firms that were offering these benefits.
