Work-Life Advantage analyses how employer-provision of
family-friendly working arrangements - designed to help workers
better reconcile work, home and family - can also enhance firms
capacities for learning and innovation, in pursuit of long-term
competitive advantage and socially inclusive growth. * Brings
together major debates in labour geography, feminist geography, and
regional learning in novel ways, through a focus on the shifting
boundaries between work, home, and family * Addresses a major gap
in the scholarly research surrounding the narrow business case for
work-life balance by developing a more socially progressive,
workerist dual agenda * Challenges and disrupts masculinist
assumptions of the ideal worker and the associated labour market
marginalization of workers with significant home and family
commitments * Based on 10 years of research with over 300 IT
workers and 150 IT firms in the UK and Ireland, with important
insights for professional workers and knowledge-intensive companies
around the world
