• Description:
  This chapter reviews the literature on work-family interventions focusing on linkages to evidence-based employee health and well-being outcomes and on return on investment (ROI) in organizations. Work-family interventions include, but are not limited to, alternative work arrangements, family supportive supervisor behavior training, work redesign to increase schedule control, and the provision of dependent care supports. Work-family interventions have the goal of reducing work-family conflict and in turn increasing the health and well-being of employees and the organizations in which they work (Kossek, Hammer, Kelly, and Moen, 2014). Sixteen studies were identified that meet our criteria. The chapter provides a discussion of establishing the work-family intervention value proposition with a focus on ROI, concluding with a discussion of approaches and guidelines for future work-family intervention research and practice.
