Getting the Balance Right - Steps to Success

The first step in implementing policies to support work family balance should be to create an action plan.

Fortunately, you don’t have to do this from scratch. Our '6 steps' are based on the experiences of organisations that have successfully gone through this process. We hope they will be of help to you, as you work to improve or formalise family friendly policies at your organisation.

1. Start the conversation

2. Take stock - what's the situation now?

3. What do staff need?

4. Write a proposal for the board

5. Get approval

6. Trial and review - is it working?

The '6 steps to work family balance success' have been adapted from the ASU 'Best Practice: Family and work life balance in the SACS sector' manual.
