Military Family Research Institute - 1 views

  •  
    The Military Family Research Institute was founded in 2000 through a cooperative agreement with the Office of Military Community and Family Policy in the Department of Defense. This organization is one of the leading organizations in the nation with the mission of conducting research regarding military families. As stated in the website the overall goal of this organization is to conduct research on the connection between quality of life for families and outcomes of interest to the military: job satisfaction, performance and retention. The overall intended audience is directed towards those individuals who are a part of the military and the families that are connected to the military as well. This organization directs five strategic goals to help support military related individuals by supporting the military infrastructure that sustains families, growing the capacity of communities to assist military families, generating new knowledge about the experiences of military families, influencing the policies, programs and practices supporting military families and creating and sustaining a vibrant learning organization. The Military Family Research Institute offers enough information on their website to proof their validity as a credible source. Information regarding their contact information, funding information and links to their national involvement throughout the country are present in their website and can be found publicly as well. Video links to military based work and events are present within this website. Military life can be biased by our government to showcase our proudest moments and hide moments that can hinder national moral. Information shown in this website I believe is not biased based on the fact that this organization is trying to provide relief to those who have to struggle with the hardship involved with the military. The .edu also states a link to Purdue, and educational institutions especially the University of Purdue has the reputation o

    AWLP was found in 1996 as an organization to advance work-life effectiveness as a business strategy. The overall goal was to enhance engagement and productivity though the integration of work, family and community. AWLP makes it a top priority to help define best practices and innovation while enabling users to have a website that encourages open dialogue. Each year, AWLP leads this effort to encourage every employer to take stock of their current work-life progress, celebrate, and then raise the bar. The resources AWLP offers include: History of Senate Resolution 210, Workplace Ideas for Celebration, Sample Internal Communication and Media Release, Success Stories, Articles and Reports, and finally online capability for highlighting the ideas of any and all employers' successes and progress The overall intended audience is clear cut and simple. No matter what work-life perspective you have they would like to know you opinion, whether or not you are a work-life professional, employer, employee or a service provider it does not matter. Depending on which work group you fall into, they separate out links and information that are more pertinent to your own situation. I give a lot of credit to the amount of detail this website puts forth to make every individual feel like their own opinion matters, which I truly believe the whole organization does care. AWLP is a legit organization and has enough proof to show it. The website showcases the awards they have won and also awards they give throughout communities. Not only can you find contact information, information can be found about their organization in any public library. Video clips throughout the news have been tagged to their website to also show their involvement throughout the past decade. In 2007, AWLP established the Work-Life Certified Professional (ALWP®) designation in 2007. This website offers links to businesses/organizations that offer the same kind of support/someone to talk to about t
