What is a family-responsible company?
A “family-responsible company” is a company that in an explicit way develops programs,
policies and practices that facilitate work-family conciliation (for example, flexibility, leave,
policies regarding services for dependents, professional and personal support or
counseling, social benefits).

FR Policies: Impact on Individuals
FR policies have a positive impact on individuals since they allow a person to organize their work hours
such that time spent working does not interfere or hamper their family responsibilities. In addition, FR
policies tend to reduce commute time, and thus, improve the employee’s performance.
- 21. © IESE Business School - Barcelona - 2011 Page 21© IESE Business School - Barcelona - 2011
FR Policies: Impact on Companies
FR policies have a positive impact on companies because they can facilitate longer customer service
hours, reduce expenses due to absenteeism, and increase the involvement of individuals at work.
Furthermore, FR policies are essentially necessary and positive for industries or sectors that
experience constant and rapid product or service changes, where the added value of the employees is
greater.
- 22. © IESE Business School - Barcelona - 2011 Page 22© IESE Business School - Barcelona - 2011
FR Policies: Impact on Society
FR policies have a direct impact on society by facilitating the reduction of environmental pollution due
to reduced employee commute time. They also decrease costs in health services since FR policies
lessen stress and other related illnesses.
In addition, FR policies have a positive impact on the country's educational level as parents can be
more involved in their child’s education, resulting in better academic performance, as well as reduced
addiction and crime rates.

Preference for Integration or Segmentation
Some individuals prefer to establish barriers such that work and family domains do not overlap and
are completely separate (segmentation). Others prefer to unify the different domains (integration).
Segmentation and integration are two extremes of a continuum. At one end, work and non-work life
do not overlap at all; on the other end, they fully share the same time and space.
In and of itself, one preference is not better than the other. However, a company’s way of working to
accommodate the preferences of an individual, whether it be integration or segmentation, is
significant.

Work Preferences
It is defined as the reason or reasons why an individual decides to work on a particular task or in a
particular job. There are three types: preference for extrinsic, intrinsic and transcendent motivations.
Extrinsic motivation: the individual searches for separable and tangible satisfaction generated by
interactions. In other words, the individual searches for his or her own satisfaction without
considering the consequences for others.
Intrinsic motivation or preference for growth opportunities: it is what causes a person to search for
his or her own learning.
Transcendent motivation or preference for opportunities to contribute: it is what causes a person
to consider positive and relevant learning. Persons that act on transcendent motivations grant
importance to the effects of their actions on others.

costs of leaving the company or to a lack of alternatives. It is the most fragile commitment: the person
is willing to leave as soon as he/she finds other options. The higher the commitment due to a lack of
alternatives, the worse the quality is of the individual’s relationship with his/her company.
Commitment due to professional development: the commitment is due to the individual’s
perception of existent opportunities that will satisfy his/her professional and personal growth. It
implies a stronger commitment than the previous one since the person is willing to collaborate while
there exists possibilities for learning and development.
Emotional commitment: the commitment manifests itself as a sentiment of personal duty and
obligation towards the company. It is the strongest attachment since it is the one in which a person
wishes to contribute to the company as a result of personal convincing and moral duty.

Impact on Individual Results: Satisfaction with Work/Life Balance
The person is satisfied with how he or she is managing work and family responsibilities.
This variable refers to the level of satisfaction that the person has with how he or she divides his or
her attention between work and family. It is also the satisfaction with how both domains, the familial
and professional, fit to form a balanced framework that the person likes.
This satisfaction is facilitated, in large part, by the resources that the company provides a person to do
their job in an independent and flexible manner. In this way, he or she can contribute professionally
without it negatively affecting his or her family life.
