Overload: how good jobs went bad and what we can do about it/ Erin L. Kelly and Phyllis Moen.
No full textFirst paperback printing with a new preface, copyright ©2021.Why too much work and too little time is hurting workers and companies--and how a proven workplace redesign can benefit employees and the bottom lineToday's ways of working are not working--even for professionals in "good" jobs. Responding to global competition and pressure from financial markets, companies are asking employees to do more with less, even as new technologies normalize 24/7 job expectations. In Overload, Erin Kelly and Phyllis Moen document how this new intensification of work creates chronic stress, leading to burnout, attrition, and underperformance. "Flexible" work policies and corporate lip service about "work-life balance" don't come close to fixing the problem. But this unhealthy and unsustainable situation can be changed--and Overload shows how.Drawing on five years of research, including hundreds of interviews with employees and managers, Kelly and Moen tell the story of a major experiment that they helped design and implement at a Fortune 500 firm. The company adopted creative and practical work redesigns that gave workers more control over how and where they worked and encouraged managers to evaluate performance in new ways. The result? Employees' health, well-being, and ability to manage their personal and work lives improved, while the company benefited from higher job satisfaction and lower turnover. And, as Kelly and Moen show, such changes can--and should--be made on a wide scale.Complete with advice about ways that employees, managers, and corporate leaders can begin to question and fix one of today's most serious workplace problems, Overload is an inspiring account about how rethinking and redesigning work could transform our lives and companies.Preface to the Paperback -- Old rules, new realities -- Overload -- How we got here and why it matters -- Dual agenda work redesign : understanding STAR at TOMO -- The business impacts of work redesign -- Work redesign benefits for health, wellbeing, and personal life -- Two steps forward, one step back -- Creating sane and sustainable jobs.1 online resourc

Advancing a career focus on work and the family: Insights from the life course perspective
No full textThe life course perspective otTers much to benefit the efforts ofwork and family stakeholders, induding human resource personneI, policymakers, teachers, and researchers. Because the life course perspective locates work and family in time and in context, it brings to Iife the dynamics of “work” and “family” throughout adulthood, along with constraints that shape decisions of managing these affairs along the way. Thus, a life course approach encourages a focus on careers 190 SWEET AND MOEN or paths-work careers, family careers, and their complex inter/ocks throughout adulthood. Doing so orients thinking and research to the meclwllisms that shape careers, along with the cultural and structural arrangements that impede or promote effectiveness (at work, at home, and in achieving personal goals) for men and women at all li fe stages. The life course perspective offers a fresh way of framing research and policy questions, especially about the ways that multiple layers of (often conflicting) roles play out over time, the impacts of existing (often outdated) institutional arrangements, and how individuals and families strategically adapt to the challenges embedded in particular role constellations (Eider, 1985; Moen, 2003a; Moen & Wethington, 1992)

A Guide to Future Outcome Assessments of Family Support Service Programs at Phyllis Wheatley Community Center
No full textThis is the final report to Phyllis Wheatley Community Center (PWCC) on assessing outcomes in its Family Services Program (FSP). The project was conducted from June 18 to August 25 2007 as a 50% summer student research project, which was funded by the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs (CURA), University of Minnesota and the PWCC in Minneapolis. As proposed by Mr. Gustafson, the goal of this research project was to produce a cost-benefit analysis of the PWCC's Family Service Program. He stated to the author that 'we believe there is a need to determine what, if any, return on investment there is for programs that provide family stability services including anger management, domestic violence prevention, self-sufficiency planning, and effective parenting for high risk populations.'Conducted on behalf of Phyllis Wheatley Community Center.
