The family Caregiver Alliance is an organization dedicated to giving a public voice for the caregivers; those who use their time outside of work to care for "loved ones with Chronic, disabling health conditions." The site provides more than advocacy and support. It presents educational materials, valuable information and research as well. "The Family Caregiver Alliance was the first community based nonprofit in the country to address the needs of families and friends providing long-term care at home." The site aims to address the concerns and support those who care for their loved ones in a diminished capacity. They offer information for public seminars, online webinars, and workshops that address specific needs. The Family Caregiver Alliance website is intended directly for those families and individuals that provide at home care for an individual in a severe diminished capacity. Although many of the seminars and newsletters address specific concerns in San Francisco and California, many of the topics and articles are relevant in every state. It provides information on how to communicate to doctors, how to take care of you as a caregiver, and provides information on more specialized care such as nursing homes, behavior specialist, and assisted living centers. It also creates a forum within seminars and webinars for individuals to communicate with others that are experiencing similar challenges and concerns. It offers online, unmoderated forums for open discussion from caregivers. They also offer support groups as well.

The Family Caregiver Alliance website is very professional, functional, and straight forward. The site is quite legitimate, publishing newsletters, articles, and sponsoring events to address the concerns caregivers face. Their list of sponsors and endorsements include AARP, the Administration on aging, the Archstone Foundation, and several California counties and California based organizations. Although they do not have a stated bias or affiliation to any political party, they do address that family care giving creates a lessening dependency on Medicaid and encourages the administration to support an agenda that addresses family caregiver concerns. . The site also details the eligibility criteria for each state's programs to assist caregivers in an easy to read chart. It is designed to be very user friendly and informational.

Elder care has become a more severe concern as the baby boomer population ages. Many of this generation are expected to be within the retirement phase anywhere from 20 to 40 years. With the increase in medical expenses and the increase in life expectancy, many families rely on their children to provide care and support for that aging generation. This time commitment can create a strain on the already complicated work-family balance. An interesting section concerned states legislation with respect to care giving. In the state of Illinois, "HB 493 (enacted 2003) Appropriated funds for senior caregivers of adult disabled children. It is informative to have knowledge of public assistance programs that may be available to help a family. Government and private industry often have policies and programs that are aimed to assist families in need with support, but the lack of knowledge regarding the programs often allows an individual in need to overlook the opportunity. Overall, the site is informative, clean, updated, and user friendly. There is plenty of information, but it is organized in an easily discernible fashion. There is a host of resources for further information and a variety of programs designed to inform and involve the caregiver with others that are in similar circumstances.

The workplace flexibility 2010 website advocates for "the development of a comprehensive national policy on workplace flexibility." They strive to bring attention to the workplace flexibility offer links to resources that discuss specific concerns or legislation in more detail. The site has workplace flexibility issues broken down amongst several categories, including: stakeholders, families and caregivers, military families, older workers, low wage workers, people with disabilities, and employers. The site is a public policy initiated at Georgetown Law. The site is intended to be a continually updated site that aims to "lay the groundwork for implementation of meaning workplace flexibility policy solutions." It is part of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's National Initiative on Workplace Flexibility. The material available is discernible by any audience and is meant to generate support and inform those who are concerned. There is not an expectation of higher learning to understand the sites position or material.

Although there is a great deal of valuable information, the site mainly is an archived list of websites that relate to a specific concern. The events section has not been updated since 2010 and the news article section was last updated in August of 2011. Since the website is sponsored by Georgetown Law, it does maintain some credibility, but it lacks proper updating and true independent thought. If the visitor was looking for information on the effect of workplace inflexibility in a particular sector of the economy, as previously discussed, they will find a great deal of website resources at their disposal. The main accomplishment of the organization is a paper that was published in 2010 discussing a variety of issues related to workplace inflexibility and outlined several possible remedies for the issue. The organization does not offer direct support to any particular political party or to any support to a particular advocacy group. They simply state the concern, outline the problem, and address possible solutions and links to find additional information. Therefore, it does not appear that any bias exists.

There was some additional information concerning work, family, and community that Workplace Flexibility 2010 addressed that I had not previously considered. Often many of us relate work-family issues to a traditional job or career. The site addresses this concern in relation to military personnel. Our discussions concerning workplace inflexibility mainly dealt with the inability of a parent to get time off to care for a child who is sick, or dual earning income families that are unable to attend to a child before or after school. In general, solutions to these concerns typically include reduced hours, greater flexibility of hours, ability to work at home, or parents working differing shifts. In military families, the imbalance becomes even more widespread. An active military member could be deployed for over a year and often, longer than that. This creates an additional strain on the family. The community and family are instrumental in assisting these families. I had not previously considered inflexibility with relation to active military personnel. Overall, the site is well-designed and encompasses a great deal of information and resources available for the workplace inflexibility concern. I would argue that the site needs to be continuously updated and provide statuses on the progress made with respect to the issue in the sectors they outline.
