Implementing Work Life Balance policies is essential in order to move an organization towards a rising level of acceptance and allowance among both – workforce and management. The implementation is a slow and steady process. It requires commitment, motivation and staying power. While developing a work-life program, the major decisions which have to be made are those dealing with implementation and the individual allowance. As an approach to accomplish this challenging change process, the Family Responsible Company Development Model provides a structured foundation by differing 4 stages a company has to face until reaching its final objective of being an ideal work-life balanced enterprise.
