Many companies have begun embracing innovative policies and programs to address the issue of integrating work and family life. Nevertheless, a large gap has often existed between the promise of such policies and programs and their implementation. Clearly, we need to look at this question from a deeper perspective-namely, the assumptions underlying how work is done in organizations, including work cultures and structures. By taking a systemic perspective on the issue of how people balance their work and family lives, companies can actually boost their bottom line. It's evident that work-family issues make it difficult for many companies-even those with model work-family policies and generous benefits-to retain certain groups of desirable employees. To be effective, companies' interest in work and family issues must be related to the bottom line in addition to broader goals. Only in this way can every individual-female or male-pursue her or his talents fully; can tomorrow's generation of children be well cared for by fathers as well as mothers; and can women and men contribute to their families and communities as well as to their work. This volume is meant to stimulate employees and organizations to think differently and creatively about work structures and practices. It also provides a framework for embracing change that benefits both companies and employees. Finally, it suggests a highly productive methodology for achieving those goals.

In Breaking the Mold, Lotte Bailyn argues that society's separation of work and family is no longer a tenable model for employees or the organizations that employ them. Unless American business is willing to radically rethink some of its basic assumptions about work, career paths, and time, both employee and employer will suffer in today's intensely competitive business environment. Bailyn's message was bold when this book was originally published in 1993. Now thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in the organization of work, the demography of the workforce, and attitudes toward the integration of work and personal life, this second edition is even more compelling. Bailyn finds that implementation of policies designed to allow "flexibility" is rarely smooth and often results in gender inequity. Using real-life cases to illustrate the problems employees encounter in coordinating work and private life, she details how corporations generally handle these problems and suggests models for innovation. Throughout, she shows how the structure and culture of corporate life could be changed to integrate employees' other obligations and interests, and in the process help organizations become more effective. Drawing on international comparisons as well as many years of working with organizations of various kinds, Bailyn emphasizes the need to redesign work itself. Breaking the Mold allows us to rethink the connections between organizational processes and personal concerns. Implementation of Bailyn's suggestions could help employees to become more effective in all realms of their complicated lives and allow employing organizations to engage their full productive potential.

Most businesses' efforts to coordinate work and private life have been unsuccessful. Now an MIT professor and noted consultant to Xerox, Exxon, Honeywell, and others shows how businesses can rethink career paths, management strategies, and the time clock to reap greater benefits for themselves and their employees.
