    CASE STUDY: Are New Recruits Looking For Work-Life Balance?

    Question 1
    The need of work family balance such as flex-time, telecommuting and job sharing is because
    the demand of child care and elderly care programs are increasing vastly. Since the workforce is
    now shifting from the composition of baby boomers to Gen X and Gen Y it is assumed that they
    need more time to spend with their child and support their elderly at the same time and creating
    a sandwiched generation. The need of better working program is due to increase of new
    demographic such as single parents and it is also used to attract potential employee.

    when deciding whether or not to join an employer is flextime program. This is because flextime

    required working hours within a week. Besides that, the flextime program provides a lot of
    benefit to the employees such as:
    1. Allow the employee to attend childrens sporting events, provide weekend care for an elderly
    2.

    living in congested traffic area. (e.g. school).

    (e.g. morning person vs. night person). This is because some people are more productive
    and more energetic in the morning, while some people are more productive and more
    energetic at night.
    4. Having flexible work schedule, may decrease parent care and childcare in term of costs.
    Cost refers to the cost of babysitter or maid who is hired to take care of their child and
    parent.
    Therefore, by considering flextime program before deciding whether or not to join an employer,
    can balancing your work-life.
