A sweeping collection of new essays gathers historical background,
theoretical perspectives, and the latest research on integrating
work and personal life in a multigenerational workforce. A
half-century after the women's movement of the 1960s, women still
have not achieved equality in the workplace, in part because the
burdens of family still fall largely upon their shoulders. This
in-depth review examines legislation, social-science research, and
human resources management practices dealing with women's
integration of work and life roles. It explores the context and
theory that explain new workplace trends and realities, and it
offers practical recommendations on how women and companies can
cope. The book is based on the premise that to attract and retain
top talent and be competitive in the 21st century, employers must
redesign their organizations to meet the needs of employees. A sort
of "paper mentor" for women, it spells out the myths and realities
of combining employment with motherhood and a committed
relationship. The expert essays are also a guide for corporations,
intended to help them understand the necessity of easing women's
burdens-and nurturing their talent-through attention to work hours
and to policies that can facilitate the integration of work and
life roles. Provides insights into 21st-century work/life
integration and multigenerational workforce issues and trends
Discusses organizational responses to these trends and offers
strategies employers can use to help female employees integrate
work and life responsibilities Shares best practices from human
resource specialists, labor attorneys, and employers for meeting
the demands of the 21st-century workforce Identifies organizations
that will assist women in integrating work and family roles
Includes first-person accounts by women-managers and
non-managers-of workplace strategies that have proven effective for
them
