Success Stories
U.S. High-tech Company (anonymous) The following is a list of activities that a U.S. high-tech company is coordinating for this year's National Work & Family Month:
Work-life "infomercials" on meeting place hold time (instead of music) so people hear, "Did you knows..." about work-life efforts while on hold for a meeting.
Work-Life table tents and posters at U.S. locations for cafeteria tables, meeting rooms, hallways, etc. promoting resources available programs.
National conference calls on flexibility and wellness.
An "off-the-shelf" work-life training kit enabling local work-life leads across the United States to hold a work-life meeting.
Competitions for local work-life groups to see which can get the most people from their city on the national conference calls. The winning locations win lunch for their meeting in November.
U.S. National Balance Newsletter, highlighting quarterly success stories as well as current or new work-life programs.
Promoting a new National Wellness Program to ensure employees know how to receive $50 incentives for healthy behaviors.
Adding Web cams for consultants who travel allowing them to stay in touch with family members while on the road.
Work-life fairs at various company locations. Piloting free-standing work-life fairs (un-related to the benefits fairs) in a number of locations.
Release of the national work-life survey to employees.
