The Bottom Line Value Of Work/Life Strategies©

This report is the work of CEBC's Work/Life Business Task Force as approved by the Board of Directors and published in 1997. The report urges employers to adopt work/life strategies based on substantial and growing evidence of positive returns to the bottom line, to employees and their families, and to society. The initiative launched by the Task Force is continuing the regular meetings of The Work«Life Network TM which brings together employers, community organizations and researchers to pursue wider and more effective implementation of work/life strategies.

Getting the Job Done:
Despite the outstanding progress by many leading companies,
widespread acceptance of Work/Life strategies by employers remains in doubt. In many respects, the change process is just beginning. CEBC's Task Force seeks wider, more effective, and more creative implementation of Work/Life strategies and changes in organizational culture that will tap their full potential for benefiting business - and
society. To that end, this report articulates the "Business Case" for Work/Life strategies.
Implementing effective Work/Life strategies - is not only a socially responsible choice - it benefits the business bottom line!

Work/Life Benefits The Bottom Line!
The employee is a high leverage variable in business. Only by helping employees achieve a constructive balance between work and personal life can businesses compete successfully. Only by achieving a constructive balance can society provide the foundation for future business growth and achievement, a foundation that sustains effective parenting, education, and workforce development.

A comprehensive Work/Life process strengthens business, families and society. Strictly from a business perspective, the messages from more than a decade of practice are clear:
Businesses that embrace Work/Life strategies improve their chances for success.
Work/Life strategies improve performance,reduce costs, and enhance profitability.
