October is National Work and Family Month, a good time for HR professionals to consider creating or enhancing programs that will help reconcile work/life issues in their organizations. A project of SHRM called When Work Works (WWW) promotes the creation of effective flexible workplaces; the WWW initiative’s annual awards recognize groundbreaking ideas and promising or successful practices in this area.
