abstract: 'Most working parents face a common dilemma-how to care for their
|
||||
|
||||
children when they are not in school but the parents are at work. In
|
||||
|
||||
this article Kathleen Christensen, Barbara Schneider, and Donnell Butler
|
||||
|
||||
describe the predictable and unpredictable scheduling demands school-age
|
||||
|
||||
children place on working couples and single working parents.
|
||||
|
||||
The authors assess the potential capacity of schools to help meet the
|
||||
|
||||
needs of working families through changes in school schedules and
|
||||
|
||||
after-school programs and conclude that the flexibility parents need to
|
||||
|
||||
balance family-work responsibilities probably cannot be found in the
|
||||
|
||||
school setting. They argue that workplaces are better able than schools
|
||||
|
||||
to offer the flexibility that working parents need to attend to basic
|
||||
|
||||
needs of their children, as well as to engage in activities that enhance
|
||||
|
||||
their children''s academic performance and emotional and social
|
||||
|
||||
well-being.
|
||||
|
||||
Two types of flexible work practices seem especially well suited to
|
||||
|
||||
parents who work: flextime arrangements that allow parents to coordinate
|
||||
|
||||
their work schedules with their children''s school schedules, and
|
||||
|
||||
policies that allow workers to take short periods of time off-a few
|
||||
|
||||
hours or a day or two-to attend a parent-teacher conference, for
|
||||
|
||||
example, or care for a child who has suddenly fallen ill. Many companies
|
||||
|
||||
that have instituted such policies have benefited through employees''
|
||||
|
||||
greater job satisfaction and employee retention.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet despite these measured benefits to employers, workplaces often fall
|
||||
|
||||
short of being family friendly. Many employers do not offer such
|
||||
|
||||
policies or offer them only to employees at certain levels or in certain
|
||||
|
||||
types of jobs. Flexible work practices are almost nonexistent for
|
||||
|
||||
low-income workers, who are least able to afford alternative child care
|
||||
|
||||
and may need flexibility the most.
|
||||
|
||||
Moreover the authors find that even employees in firms with flexible
|
||||
|
||||
practices such as telecommuting may be reluctant to take advantage of
|
||||
|
||||
them, because the workplace culture explicitly or implicitly stigmatizes
|
||||
|
||||
or penalizes employees for choosing these work arrangements. The authors
|
||||
|
||||
conclude by making a case for creating a workplace culture that supports
|
||||
|
||||
flexibility. Such a culture, they argue, would enable working parents to
|
||||
|
||||
better meet the responsibilities of their jobs as they care for and
|
||||
|
||||
build strong relationships with their children.'
