21. Family-work conflict can be diminished by establishing workplace family-
friendly policies. Some of these policies include :

either on-site child care center at the business, references to close child
care centers, or supplemented child care incomes for the families placing
their children in a child care center, and health care insurance.
Policies where employees have the ability to work from home, and
schedule flexibility policies where employees have control over their
schedules.
Organizations can provide their employees to help them and cope with
work-family conflict.
Organizations may provide formal supports such as family-oriented
policies and benefits which give employees autonomy over their hours and
their absence from work.

Measuring the daily shifting weights of time and energy allocation
between work and family life, the term, “work-family balance,” provides a
metaphor to countervail the historical notion that work and family
relationships can often be competing, at odds, and conflicting.
