ABSTRACT
For organizations to be successful, leaders must create abundance and help employees respond to work-life demands throughout their life course. My research with senior leaders shows that there are a tremendous number of approaches to providing work-life supports. The approaches are as varied and individual as workers and their companies, but this chapter provides some ideas for executives who want to leverage work-life supports in their organizations. These are only the mechanisms available for work-life supports in the form of benefits, policies, and practices; they must be implemented with consideration for the factors I discuss in part 2. These options provide a starting point for the journey and offer examples of companies that are implementing different types of work-life supports.
