<p>In a knowledge economy that celebrates innovation, diversity and corporate values, it is imperative for employers to "walk the talk" and "put their money where their mouth is" when it comes to creating and sustaining a healthy, viable culture for their greatest asset: their people. With her latest book, nationally known work-life expert Karol Rose has responded directly to the growing demand and challenges of employer-sponsored, work-life initiatives. The book, Work-Life Effectiveness: Bottom-Line Strategies for Today's Workplace, updates and illuminates the concepts presented in Rose's previous effort, Work-Life Effectiveness: Programs, Policies and Practices, a book often referred to as the work-life profession's "bible." The new book culls down and assimilates mountains of information and years of research to build a strong business case for designing, implementing and enhancing work-life programs. It arms the novice with facts, uncovers trends and reinforces the significance of a frequently overlooked and underappreciated component of total rewards. The book encompasses a broad range of work-life and HR-related topics, such as how to: Develop a work-life strategy Conduct a needs assessment Implement dependent care programs Encourage workplace flexibility Design management training initiatives. Clearly, work-life is not an easy concept to get one's arms around, and subsequently, responsibility for work-life can be found in several areas of a company including human resources, benefits, employee relations, training, diversity and health and wellness. This book unravels the complexity of the work-life subject and provides concrete examples, guidelines, how-to information and case studies, as well as current research and statistics.</p>
