Given the changes in the family structure, employers are making efforts to respond to the personal side of a worker’s life. Government agencies and alert businesses have responded by helping entire families, not just individual employees. Major corporations such as Aetna Life & Casualty, Johnson & Johnson, and Continental Corporation are learning that it pays to help today’s family cope better when linking jobs to family responsibilities. Firms are also learning that some problems are so severe that policies are needed that some workers may not like.
