Kristin Cummins on 20 Apr 12Website Name: Military Family Research Institute URL: http://www.cfs.purdue.edu/mfri/public/Default.aspx Website Overview: Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) recognizes the challenges and sacrifices military families endure due to deployments and relocations. Their mission is to strengthen community involvement, support educational goals, and to create policies and programs the help support and improve the quality of life for military families. Intended Audience: The intended audience is both civilian and military families living in Indiana, and throughout the United States. Critique: The website is credible as it is an extension of Purdue University. There are several links that provide access to ongoing research studies, not-for-profit organizations, and several partners of MFRI, such as, Career Learning and Employment Center for Veterans with Disabilities (CLEC). They do not appear to be selling or advertising products. The website is full of useful information and seems aimed at educating its intended audience. Relationship to work, family, community class: MFRI seems to understand the struggles that military families face and are actively trying to lessen some of their burdens, especially with education. There are several links to grants and higher education programs made available to military families. Also, MFRI actually offers a $1500 grant to community organizations that work toward helping military families. Other comments: I liked that MFRI are actively working with military families to see where they can use a helping hand. For example, based on communications with military families, MFRI created a report discussing the challenges that veterans often face when being introduced to the college environment. They took initiative and are trying to make the transition from military life to civilian life easier on these individuals and their families.

kevin keyfauver on 04 May 12How can you go wrong with a website that opens to "Operation: Hire A Hoosier Vet Career Fair"! The Veterans Administration estimates that there are more than 22.7 million US veterans today. http://www.va.gov/vetdata/docs/quickfacts/Population-slideshow.pdf I believe that with the end of hostilities in Iraq, and as the draw down in Afghanistan looms, we will see more returning vets facing an stagnant economy, and its good to know there are resources available for aiding in the process of re-integration.

Josh Sweeney on 07 May 12One thing I noticed is that the site lists five goals, but doesn't really say how they plan to reach them. They should tell what they're doing to reach these goals. Also, like you mentioned, these deployed military members will be coming back to a stagnant economy; how do they intend to address that? If they are finishing their time in the military, they're going to need jobs. We don't exactly have many jobs right now, so I think this should be the major concentration.

Focus on the Family: Helping Families Thrive - 5 views

Focus on the Family http://www.focusonthefamily.com/ This website focuses on family issues beyond work/family issues including; marriage, parenting, life challenges, faith and social issues. Focus on the family also has a radio broadcasts, websites, simulcasts, conferences, interactive forums, magazines, books, counseling and much more. Their mission statement is "To cooperate with the Holy Spirit in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible by nurturing and defending the God-ordained institution of the family and promoting biblical truths worldwide." And their vision is to redeem families, communities, and societies worldwide through Christ. This organization has a value statement which emphasizes value on evangelism, marriage, children, human life, social responsibility, and the individuality of both male and females. This is a large not for profit organization with a 2010 asset and liability of just over $82 million. Obviously Focus on the family is a Christian based organization which targets mainly Christians. All materials are accessible to the general public and seem be easy to understand. Focus is a politically active organization and highly influential in our countries policies. This is a highly legitimate organization with many contributors from all walks of life. This organization was founded by a world renowned child psychologist, Dr. James Dobson Ph.D. I learned that this site has a treasure trove of information and help with raising children. As a working father myself, and a product of parents who lacked in both parenting skills and communication, I had a rough time trying to train my own children. Without the proper training on child raising or even how to deal with your spouse in hard situations, we find ourselves working longer hours to stay away from the problems at home. Although this site might not be interesting for everyone because of its outspoken Christian beliefs, one cannot deny that getting educated on p

Focus on the family is a great source! The cite provides a lot of useful advice and I have heard them on the radio many times. Definitely one to trust. Nice work. -
What a great pick for a review... one I would not have thought of, but very appropriate. I think so many times I think of the work family conflict of only having solution at work, but the solution can come at home when one chooses the life they want to lead.

Raising a family in this modern world of instant everything can be a gargantuan task that is quite daunting to new parents no matter what their age is. Website Name: Family Support America URL: http://www.familysupportamerica.org Website Overview: This website is to help parents gain helpful and useful tips, information, support, and connections in order for families to survive. One of the main focuses is eating healthy and staying activity. Healthy children equal happy children. Other major topics include child abuse prevention, stress, adoption tips, education, childcare, and family-work situations. Intended Audience: The intended audience is parents. Critique: I feel that this site is somewhat credible. First off the website is an .org, thus referring to the website being associated with an organization. After doing some research on my local library database, I found a couple of publications mentioning the organization, Family Support America. One example of a publications mentioned that Family Support America hosted the 10th Biennial National Conference in Chicago. (2004) There is no specific author mentioned within the website. All information of given freely though each section does mention a sponsoring source at the end. The one thing that does bother me about the website is that it does not provide supporting documentation on its points. I do not find any signs of bias on the site since the site is directed to both parents. Relationships to Work, Family, Community Class: I feel this is site is very useful in helping families adjust and deal with work-family situation. Throughout this course we have read about many hardships and stress that many different types of families endure. This site gives families different solution to their dilemma. For example, we read about the lack of quality daycare many working parents deal with. Under the education & day care it gives a parent reading how to help you choose the right place for your child. - ...3 more comments...

This site was interesting. It was very simplistic compared to other sites that have been reviewed in this forum. There is some great information available, but there is a lack of enthusiasm or care. The site seems mildly depressing with the white and blue color scheme. Overall, it has great intentions, but it lacks some of the more social aspects that other similar organizations has. I feel one of the best resources are other parents or individuals that have similar experiences. We can learn from each other and support one another. Using social networking or blogs helps to foster that communication. I feel this site just misses the mark with its simplicity. Thank you for your review on this site. Joshua

Wow, I would most certainly agree with you Toni. The webpage is certainly lacking a lot of polish as well as information. The information provided has no credible sources and is very scares. I would agree with Jade that the organization seems to be a real organization, however they certainly seem to be lacking a real mission. They claim to cover everything form child abuse to divorces. Most organizations seem to focus on one aspect instead of just doing it all. The sponsored links on each page also raise some red flags. Overall, I would say this is the worst website I have seen while doing this project.

This website is a work in progress by the School of Management and Labor Relations Center for Women and Work. Their main focus areas include 1) Workforce Development, 2) Education and Career Development, 3) Women's Leadership and Advancement, and 4) Working Families. The main mission of this group is to address the advancement of women in the workplace, conduct cutting-edge research on successful public and workplace policies, provide technical assistance and programs to educators, industry, and governments, and engage issues that directly affect the living standards of New Jerseys' and the nations' working families. Gender equity projects and research is also at the heart of their mission. Overall this website is very informative for all viewers. It is a good source of information and research on a wide range of topics that deal with women, work and families. It is a credible website with much information and the capability to take donations. They have links to the Working Poor Families Project and other related blogs and organizations. I am impressed with the New Jersey Time To Care project. This is a project to offer paid leave to workers faced with family illness or crisis for a six-week period of partial wage replacement over a 12-month period. This initiative will cover leave to bond with a newborn or newly adopted child or to care for a seriously ill child, parent, spouse, domestic partner or civil union partner. This will cover all workers who have earned $143.00/per week for 20 weeks. Great for part timers who would usually only be granted unpaid leave. (This in itself is a separate website that is very informative, as well.) I like the design of the (CWW) site and the way they offer links to those who may want or need more information. The Sloan Center on Innovative Training and Workforce Development is also packed full of good information. Their link takes you to The Center of Women and Work's (CWW) Innovative Training and Workforce Development (ITW

Thank you for your review of this site. There is a great deal of information available with relation to women in the workplace. Diversity is important in any organization. The companies that have the strength and talent of minds from differing backgrounds and needs can anticipate factors more fully. It is refreshing to see an organization that provides so much information. I agree with Kristin that utilizing social media shows the passion they feel for their mission. I was also impressed that they had current and relevant articles available to be read and commented on by visitors. Thank you again for your presentation of this site. Joshua
When Work Works - 4 views

Website Name: When Work Works URL: www.whenworkworks.org Website Overview: This website is dedicated to bringing research on workplace effectiveness and flexibility into community and business practices. They share this information with Employers allowing them access to the research and the ability for them to compare practices. They also share with job seekers and employees to inform them on which flex is best and how to ask for our about flex. They also share with community leaders and offer tips on how to build coalitions and movements to help get communities started. This information is open to the public for review. You get to choose what you are (employer, employee or community leader) and download helpful information. When Work Works also offers an award for "exemplary employers", it is the Alfred P Sloan Awards for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility. The website is dedicated to showing employers how flexibility can benefit them and their employees. The website states that When Work Works is a project of Families and Work Institute and The Society for Human Resource Management. Intended Audience: Employers, Jobseekers and Employees, and Community Leaders. Relationship to work, family, community class: This website offers research information to employers, employees and communities to help them understand how flexibility in the work place can work for us all. Most all of us have families and can benefit from learning how employers can be more flexible and how we as employees can obtain the flexibility from them. Other Comments: I questioned the validity of the website briefly because in one location it said the inception was in 2005 and in another it said 2004. It also mentioned partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce at one time where another said the two partners I mentioned earlier.

The website is small, however if you click on the links for employers, jobseekers and/or employees, or community leaders there is a lot of information for them. There didn't seem to have any built in bias and yes there were links to several areas of research. Although the site seemed small and seemed to have only a little information, there were links to more information. It did not make the website seem overwhelming or full of useless information. Plus I like the fact that they had user specific downloads to offer assistance. Unlike the other website I reviewed and was unsure how they actually helped this one was pretty clear cut. I did not realize this was cut off, my apologies.

Website Name: Family Life Project URL: http://www.fpg.unc.edu/~flp/index.cfm Website Overview: The Family Life Project focuses their study on child development, particularly on children living in rural areas. This project is interesting as it follows the lives of a number of children from birth through their second grade school. Specifically, they are focusing on the temperament and the competence of the children, as well as, any outside factors that affects children from low-income families. Intended Audience: The intended audience for the Family Life Project is both families and educational organizations. Critique: The Family Life Project is a joint study amongst The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Penn State University, the National Institute of Health and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The website provides a detailed list of the key staff responsible for overseeing the study, which leads to the sites credibility. The site offers a brief overview of the study, but provides little in the way of detailed information. Although, the site provides a fair amount of information under the FAQ link, the user will have to search the various organizational links provided. Overall, the information within the site is easy to understand and the website itself is simple to navigate.

The website is easy to navigate, but information seems to be limited, and out of date. The last recorded newsletter or update i could find was from 'Winter 2009". This report detailed some results from their 48 month study, but it would be interesting to see what kind of metrics they found at 60 months, and even 72.
-
The site is interesting but if the community knows certain children are being "followed", I believe that will throw off the results of their studies. However, it is good for the community because they are coming together for their children...just as a community should. I wish neighborhoods were a little more like they were in the old days when it was safe to walk down the street.

Balancing Family and Work - 3 views

http://www.stayhitched.com/balance.htm This website is called marriage success training, with the tagline of building the foundation for your lifetime together. They sell seminars for engaged couples who want premarital counseling. They cover many issues that engaged couples encounter from cohabitation, relationships with each other's families, and even how long couples should wait following the wedding to have children. The intended audience of this website seems to be couples, who are considering marriage. Either engaged or considering getting engaged. The knowledge assumed is that you are either an engaged heterosexual couple or a newly married couple. The information on this site seems reliable as a counseling resource for couples. This website does have bias towards religion and spirituality, even though it says there is no specific religion as its basis. On the homepage there are reviews from prior users of these services. They are quoted in the New York Times, as well as seen on WNBC TV news. They are holding seminars in Chicago next spring. They have Facebook pages as well as Twitter. I looked at their Facebook page, it looks like they don't really keep up on it, and they only have 75 fans. I think that any avenue that keeps a couple communicating is a positive thing for a relationship. This website did discuss many valid points for couples that may be entering that next phase of life that would encounter. In relationship to Work, Family, and Community this website brought up many good discussion topics for couples, such as how would household work be divided, would one parent stay home with children, and many other topics that may be otherwise taken for granted in a young relationship situation.

National Fatherhood Initiative - 3 views

National Fatherhood Initiative http://www.fatherhood.org/ Overview: The National Fatherhood Initiative is a webpage for the organization with the same name who attempts to minimize the amount of children that grow up without their fathers in their lives. The organization is devoted to making sure fathers are there for their children as much as possible. Through its 3-E strategy, Educate, Equip, and Engage, the National Fatherhood Initiative has successfully helped more than two million children live with their fathers, along with reaching 1 million fathers with skill building resources. The webpage as a whole seems to promote the efforts of the organization a great deal as well as reaching out to potential donors. Intended Audience: The intended audience of the webpage is aimed at fathers who feel like they need to be more involved with their children. The website offers a number of help brochures and books in order to better fathers who are not as involved in their children's life as they could be; for a small fee of course. Critique: The first and most annoying aspect of reviewing this webpage was the lack of information available to the reader. The organization is a non-profit organization however it would seem otherwise from browsing through their website. There is a donate link on nearly every page of the site, making it frustrating to navigate as every link eventually takes you to either a donate page or a page that wants you to buy something. The four key tabs are For Fathers, For Organizations, For Media, and Donate. Choosing one of the four tabs basically takes you to a link where the viewer can give them money. If you are a father you can search their Father SOURCE collection in order to buy materials to learn how to be a better father. If the viewer is involved with an organization he/she can learn how to donate money and if you are a media member, then the viewer can learn how to hire one of the organizations speakers to do a presentation.

Here is the remainder of the review as it seems to have been cut short Almost everywhere you go the webpage is attempting to get money from the viewer. The whole page is virtually an advertisement for the organization. On a positive note, the organization does seem to be very good at collecting money and aiding fathers in need. The organization has been associated with companies such as Disney, Nissan, FedEx, the NBA, and the NFL. Having an affiliation with all of these companies does go to show that the organization is achieving their mission. The website also has an interesting section labeled statistics; the section details some interesting statistics relating to the effects of fathers missing from their children's lives. All of the statistics are very well documented and precise with accurate source material. They webpage also has a number of ways to contact the organization all labeled on the bottom of the webpage. As a whole I would say that the webpage is very credible in its information, it's just a shame there is not much information to look at without having to dish out some money to see it. Relationship to Work, Family, Community class: The obvious connection to the concepts that we have learned this semester can be found in amount of work/family conflicts that result from overworked parents neglecting their families in favor of financial growth. As we have learned, fathers tend to be the parents who are more often than not placed in the role of bread winner. As a result of the amount of pressure that is placed on fathers, they are typically responsible for failing to be there for their children as they are growing up. I believe that the National Fatherhood Initiative is definitely attempting to shed some light on a less talked about subject matter; however I feel that the way that they are attempting to achieve their goal is somewhat disappointing. If as a non-profit organization you have some piece of knowledge that is going to help fathers ach
-
It seems that everyone is willing to provide help to anyone for a price. I wonder how much of the money they raise actually goes to help fathers have better and stronger relationships with their children. I took a look at this website and it appears to just give enough information to try and draw someone in so that they will pay to learn more. It may be very credible but I think fathers would be better off finding an organization in their community that offers meetings where fathers can get together and talk about issues and a facilitator donates their time to help.

http://www.eap.partners.org/default.asp This website is a resource for employees who are employed by the affiliated healthcare facilities that provides support for a wide range of issues from balancing work and family, marital concerns, child and elder care resources, substance abuse, financial and legal concerns among other things. The intended audience is any employees that work for the network of healthcare facilities that the website is facilitated by. By looking around on the website, I could tell that it was specifically for these employees; however, there are resources on the website that are available to everyone in the form of questions and answers. The website seems to be a good source of information as a resource for employees that are dealing with difficult situations in their life. This website also provided links to many governmental websites as further resources. The website is a .org so it is more reputable. This website seems unbiased because there are no advertisements. This website did not seem to have a political or social agenda. This website seemed right on point in regards to many of the difficult situations that we learned about in this class in regards to Work, Family & Community. There were resources for child care, elder care, and mental health, as well as some other valid issues in family life such as military life and veterans.
WFC Resources Organizational Wellness - 2 views
-
Website Overview: This website is intended to make resources available to employers and employees on how to make the workplace both supportive and effective. WFC Resources believe that the secret behind thriving businesses is a work setting with a twofold program. This program includes achieving business goals and creating a program that allows employees to meet their personal responsibilities. WFC Resources also offers consulting and training to help businesses and employees accomplish that objective. Their consulting and training is offered on-site and on-line which make the resources readily available. The on-line site is laid out in a simple format that is easy to navigate. They offer many resources available through articles that are free to download; products that one can purchase that contain e-courses on creating a work/family balance; reports and external resources.
This site seems to have much credibility. To support their credibility WFC Resources created the Work-Life Clearinghouse that over the last 20 years has tracked and wrote about the history and current practices in the workplace. In addition, the WFC Resources are active in the improvement of the industry through networks and society initiatives. For two years, the company has led the "When Work Works" program in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul which is part of the Alfred P. Sloan Awards for Workplace Excellence. Furthermore, the resources offered through this site are used by many fortune 500 companies listed on their website. Their track record, their presence within many corporations and their community involvement testify of their credibility. - ...1 more comment...

Thank you for your review of this site. Often, many sites and available information is aimed at the individual to create a work-family balance. This site aims to help create balance by working with the employer as well. In this fashion, the company becomes more family friendly and helps to be a resolution to family imbalance, rather than a problem. In addition, I like the way they had videos that demonstrated their programs. They also had a great deal of information available discussing the difficulty of work-family imbalance. Their contact information was easily visible for any employer that wished to take advantage of their services. It seems they have created a balanced approach and have had success implementing their ideas to employers. Thanks again for your review. Joshua
Working Mom Time-Saving Tips, at Work and at Home - 2 views

Part one the URL: http://www.workingmother.com/ A brief overview of the website: This site covers everything a working mother would want to know, or read about. Of course like the two main categories for working mothers, they have the two main tabs on the site being at home and at work. They also have three sub tabs including: best companies, research institute, and conference and events. The at home tab has tips, ideas, and inspiration to help working moms balance household, family and me time. When you explore this section it offers many articles that address different topics concerning the home. For example, there is an article about pinkeye prevention. There is also an article about six family friendly earth day activities. Under the articles there is also a bunch of working mom blogs that you can read that pertain to subjects about the home. At work tab, is the other major tab on this site. This tab offers career tips and advice for every working mom at every stage of life. This tab offers a new range of articles that have to do with work. Some of the topics range from training you brain for pregnancy to stay sharp on the job, and how to ace an interview. Like the home tab this tab also has work mom blogs, but these blogs deal with the work side of life instead. The best companies tab has the latest news, tips, and trends on work-life and the advancement of women from Working Mother's signature initiatives. This include articles about the best working mother companies to work for, as well as updates on family policies and benefits.

Thank you for the review of this site. I was at first intimidated by the vast amount of information and links on the site, but after a bit of browsing, it did seem to flow more smoothly. I like the way that they have subdivided the topics by "@Home" and "@Work". This makes it easier to move throughout the site and locate more relevant information. The part that I thought was most valuable was links to blogs of other mothers. It is good for individuals to be able to network and create a community with other individuals that are experiencing similar problems or concerns. Community can be a great asset to obtaining information, and the blogs allows for a virtual community. I also like the fact they had information about family friendly employers to work for. This could be valuable to anyone who is looking for a new career and has to balance a family as well. Overall, I feel there is a great deal of information and the site serves a great purpose. Thank you again for your review. Joshua

Great review, Ashley. I enjoyed browsing the website as it seems to be full of great information for working moms (whether they work inside or outside of the home). I have to say, though, that this site seemed to be mostly for entertainment factor until I found the research library. The library is full of great information and research relevant to work/life/family/community challenges. I also found several resources specific to women (gaps and stats of careers/salaries/education of men and women). Overall I thought this was a great site that somewhat solidified what we've read/learned over the course of this semester.

Website Overview: The Families and Work Institute is a think-tank organization based on non-profit efforts to critically review the emerging issues of family, work and community. They are action oriented while also conducting massive amount of research in challenging traditional mindset and blending conventional approaches. The non-partisan organization generates research then utilizes it to build the work and family model through awareness and support. Intended Audience: The purpose of this website is to reach men and women in the efforts to communicate issues and best practices for working families. The intended audience are all those affected by work-family issues despite age, race, gender or culture. Critique: Families and Work Institute is a great resource for those battling the work-family struggles that affect our daily lives. The website is very well put together with every link I used fully functional and supported with information. As I explored the website I didn't feel like there was any unnecessary information. The newsroom portion of the website which gave updates on current events was a bit out dated however the appropriate links were in place to direct visitors to other non-profit programs. . It was a well planned out website with limited links which helped keep the site from feeling overwhelming. Overall the information on the website was appropriate and easy to follow. Relationship to work, family, community, class: The Families and Work Institute are committed to their mission of researching and creating awareness of emerging family-work issues. They insist on driving their agenda, on doing work they truly believe in, on doing work of the highest quality and on achieving results. There challenge is that, together and with help, they can maintain commitment to excellence in providing research assist those in the work family circle Other comments: I was impressed with this website both with the setup of the overall website and communi

continued..Past project reports are available for purchase. There has also been research done involving the elderly and family caregivers. I was not aware of the amount of research this institute performs until I accessed the projects pages and saw that the list of past and current topics is somewhat significant. The most interesting research is the ongoing study on the changing workforce that currently compiles research from the last 20 years. I also learned that the healthcare industry offers the best flexibility work schedule options to their workers. Manufacturing, Hotel and Restaurant businesses offer the least flex scheduling options.

This is a pretty good site, They seem to do important work, with our ever changing economy and jobs going to foreign countries, it is very important to have an organization other than the government studying the cause and effects of the system around us. the site was easy enough to find my way around.
