This
paper recognizes the dilemma faced by every worker in
striking a balance between work and family commitments.
It provides measures which may ease the friction
between these two responsibilities.
To complement these actions, pertinent laws and
government programs which provide flexibility to the
situation of working couples have been cited.
The
study also identified the programs and interventions
adopted by Pfizer, Prudential Bank, Ateneo de Manila
University and Atlas Publishing Company, among others, as
establishments which took the initiative in reconciling
work-family accountabilities.
The
study concludes that employers play critical roles in
ensuring the success of this undertaking.
One is to provide mechanisms that would further
improve the terms and conditions of workers with family
responsibilities, as well as enhance employee-employer
relationships.
