| Abstract: | The reason for companies' reluctance to embrace family oriented benefits for employees is the lack of proof that these initiatives result in productivity gains. This article examines the work/family and productivity research undertaken to date and suggests that to understand how corporate family responsive initiatives affect the work place one should expand the inquiry from a narrow focus on productivity or efficiency gains to a broader assessment of organizational effectiveness and to frame the question within a corporate or organizational culture context. |
