2. This website offers a service to organizations that are looking to promote "organizational and individual wellbeing". They have counselors available 24 hours, 7 days a week to assist both employers and employees in both work and life situations. Their biggest emphasis is in emotional wellbeing, and other aspects of life that may hinder an individual in being their best both at home and at work. They see a happy stable individual as the best employee.
3. The intended audience for this website is both employers and employees. The focus is for employers as they are the financial contributors to the service however, the employees are also the recipients. It's intended to have the organization fund the service that enables quality employees from a holistic approach. The material is not accessible to the general public. The programs require access after organizations sign up...and pay.
4. I find this site to be very creditable. It provides clear path to what it provides for both employees and employers. It is backed up with recognition and award section from highly reputable organizations to include Inc.500, Ernst & Young, Dartmouth Executive Education and more. The site does not have additional advertisement associated with it but is focused on the services it can provide to enable a healthier work environment. It repeatedly boast about the highly qualified staff that is available continuously to address crisis or planned training for organizations. I didn't find the site to be affiliated with any political or social agenda. It is really there to support individuals to be their best personally to ensure highest productively in the business environment.
5. What I've learned from visiting this site is there must be a market for organizations to provide services to their employees in not only training but for their mental stability and happiness. What I found a little strange was if you are having a personal crisis how much trust would you have with a counselor who is being paid through your employer. My thoughts would be that there may be hesitation and possible lack of trust to divulge personal information with someone who may be more loyal to your employer.

2. This website is a private non-profit organization that provides the resources for working parents to find child care or other needs such as babysitters, classes and listing of community events. They essentially are coordinators that allow those looking for childcare a place to search for the needed care. Additionally, the organization rates the providers so those looking can trust their assessment of the services that are out there. The major categories are searching the database, a calendar offering continuing education services, news and events, "the nanny connection", and listing of other services available to the local community.
3. The intended audience are working parents or parents needing childcare services. The clues defining the audience is the intro page with a photo of smiling children with it titled, "Work Family Resource Center...promote quality child care in our community". Consistently there is a running header with the logo, "workfamily resource center". I see this title enforcing the intent that they are there to assist with families who work. The materials are accessible to the general public and anyone can access and decipher the information.
4. As I reviewed the site I find it legitamite however, I don't see the validity of the services that they are providing. They acquire funding through grants and other charitable means therefore there is no cost to the working parent/consumer. However, I don't see the necessity of the services because those looking for childcare will go into their local community and ask other parents for referrals and will visit and make their own determination of what childcare is best for them. Additionally, the continuing education calendar is nice to have collected however it is not that they are providing the services but rather it is a listing of activities within the community that others are providing. Personally, I'd rather see the money that the government is providing to the organization used in other ways. Such as to provide funding for those that can't afford daycare. Interesting they don't have any advertisements or other means to raise money but rather they simply have a "support us" where they are soliciting for donations.
5. After reviewing this site I have learned that there are those that feel they need assistance in finding adequate daycare for children. I personally don't feel comfortable trusting a website to determine the best daycare for my kids. I do see this as a tool however, I don't believe that it would prove more valuable than asking friends and family for referrals, visiting and personally determining the best daycare.
