As every working parent knows, balancing a successful work life with a positive home and family life can be a challenge.
Children always wake up with ear infections on the same day as the big presentation before top management. Elderly parents frequently need care at exactly the same time as the championship soccer game. And the telephone call often comes from the boss as the car is being packed for a family weekend at the beach.
But for many fortunate employees, 50 companies in North Carolina are making life easier with family-friendly policies that create a positive outcome for everyone. From major corporations with more than 50,000 employees to the corner shop with just three on the payroll, these employers are creating win-win situation.
