This volume discusses why faculty and administrators of academe
should care about implementing family-friendly policies and
practices, as well as how they can advocate for policy changes. In
section one, the book's focus is on empirical studies that
demonstrate the need for innovative programs and policies for
faculty at colleges and universities. These pieces explore issues
such as the value of work/life programs for employee retention, the
need for a variety of family support policies including elder care,
and the influence of workplace culture on the use of existing
policies. Section two includes case studies of the process of
formulating family-friendly policies and their adoption at a
variety of universities. The subjects of these chapters include use
of the Family and Medical Leave Act, the enactment of a parental
leave policy, the development of a unique "life cycle professorship
program," and strategies used to implement new policies. The case
study chapters provide descriptions of the identification of
faculty and staff needs and the process of policy development as
well as advice to faculty and administrators who seek to develop
similar policies at their institutions.
