Sobre IBD

What evolved to become the work/life movement in corporate America began in the early ’80s, when several professionals recognized the inadequacy of programs or policies to fulfill the needs of working parents, as women entered the workforce in record numbers. Those professionals became the Pioneers within a new industry. As corporate executives were faced with the challenge of retaining a talented and dedicated workforce, and keeping workers productive on the job, they sought assistance from those forward-thinking and committed individuals.This book is one consultant’s journey as the new fi eld was being created, and the role she and her colleagues played in its development. Ann Vincola Votta describes the environment, the players, and the process, as attention grew to incorporating work/life programs and policies into a comprehensive human resource agenda.The author describes the economic impetus for the creation of new programs, such as on-site child care, as well as other types of programs and services established. She also outlines her journey as her own career evolved during the twenty-year period from 1981 to 2001.This is a history of what happened, and how some of the professionals involved achieved a worthwhile goal.
