A Typology of Workplace Policies

This article defines “family friendly” policies of employers more broadly as “worker friendly” policies. Second, it presents a fourfold typology of these worker friendly policy types, using these systematic criteria: Who/what is the focus of the policy? What is the goal of the policy? Who benefits (is favored) by the policy? Who bears the financial constraints of the policy? Who is the target audience? Four policy types emerge from this: (a) the “old” family friendly and personal type policies;(b) those that remove impediments to work; (c) training and education; and (d) nontraditional incentives type. We also scored all individual policies along a proemployer and proemployee axis, then determined an average score for each policy type and placed the types into one of four quadrants along these axes. There is preliminary support for four distinct types of worker friendly policies by virtue of their spatial placement.
