Abstract

BENITO OSORIO, DIANA. Family and work-life balance: a pressing challenge in business management. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.115, pp.65-78. ISSN 0123-5923.

This work suggests an organizational change process for the purpose of achieving balance between family and work life. This organizational change will arise as the result of a cultural change. This is the reason that we propose the creation of selfmanaged multidisciplinary work teams that define their own productive process, having flexibility in their work schedule in a context of organizational democracy. This work proposes new human resource policies based people, in such a way that all the members of the organization participate in a shared leadership project and engage in a productive reorganization, determining the phases to be completed in order to implement the change successfully.

Keywords : Family and work-life balance; implementation measures; work teams; organizational democracy.
