The Changing Workplace: A Social Work Perspective

You are a social worker at a company that has been experiencing some downturns in productivity, low morale, and a general feeling that the company does not support a healthy work-life balance for its employees. A number of proposals have come through for what the company could do to improve morale and employee retention. Each one seems to have about equal support from the employees.

These are those proposals.

Rank them from 1 to 8 to denote which you think should be best to implement first. (1 = highest , 8 = lowest).

List your top 3 ranking and explain why you made the selections.

______ Free on-site day care for parents with preschool children, or children out of school for the summer

______ A wellness initiative that gives employees the chance to take breaks during the day to exercise in an on-site gym facility or go for a run/walk

______ Fewer expectations of working from home at night and weekends

______ More of a voice in major decisions being made about the company's direction/policies

______ On-site counseling available for employees going through divorce, other family problems, or drug/alcohol abuse issues, confidentially

______ Financial planning services made available for retirement and other personal financial goals

______ More leisure activities for coworkers to spend healthy time with each other, hopefully growing closer as a team and enjoying work more

______ More flexible scheduling, with later morning starts available for parents or those who live further away if they are willing to work at night or on weekends.

3. Be honest.... How are you adjusting to the Environmental Change?
