Employers are placing increasing significance on human resources policies designed to enable their employees to achieve an improved work-life balance. This report outlines how employees and managers in three sectors - banking, grocery retail and local authorities - have experienced the ‘family-friendly employment’ options available in their place of work.

The report presents key findings in relation to:

* how aware employees are of the family-friendly policies of their employers;

* what links, if any, employers have with local care service providers;

* how well managers understand the policies;

* what barriers there are to implementation of family-friendly policies.
