Assessing Needs
Typically, the first step in developing a work-life strategy involves the needs assessment process. Using a task force is a key part of developing a consensus of feelings about work-life issues. This encourages a wide variety of input from all parts of the organization.
Understanding your current work-life programs, what your competitors are doing, and how management perceives the issues is the next major step.
Implementing an employee survey is the final link to completing the needs assessment process. Understanding the needs and wants of the employees by asking them directly is more important than relying on what management thinks the employees want.
