Lisa Scott on 03 May 12Website Overview: This site was founded by a foundation founded in 2001 called Corporate Voices for Working Families. The foundations goal is to help shape conversations and collaborate on public and corporate policy issues involving families. Throughout this site you can browse and find information about the foundation, as well as their work, their policies, partnerships, publications, news and events. They have worked on such policies as the Workforce Investment Act, tax policies and flexible spending. These policies help the worker and thus help the home. In addition, the publications and toolkits focus are focused on four topics: workforce readiness, work and family balance, workplace flexibility and family economic stability. This site appears be very creditable as they have documented work and they are nonprofit, nonpartisan organization. Their main goal is to be a voice to corporations in explaining what workers desire and thus return a dedicated worker. This foundation also reaches out to the government for their support on different family/work issues. One thing I did not find in the site is their accomplishments they have earned by this collaboration. Intended Audience: Business owners, members of the Government and any working individual. Relationship to Work, Family, and Community Class: This site's main goal is to bring about a healthy balance in the workplace as well as at home. Through mediating between corporations and the government this organization is seeking to provide a better home and work life. Other Comments: I found the publications very interesting, especially the Family Economic Stability publication.
