Reviews

This book results from the collaborative effort of ten business leaders who met over a two-year period, among them Mackavey (director, Human Resources Management Program, Lesley Coll.) and Levin (founder, Boston Univ., Ctr. on Work and Family). Together they developed a new business model to "transform companies...into high performance workplaces that achieve productivity and profitability by respecting their workforce, by committing themselves to family-supportive policies, and by building bridges to other institutions in the collaborative mission of strengthening our society." The authors provide numerous examples of ways companies can become more family-centered. Topics include the dilemma of working parents, business and effective schools, and a commitment to excellence. This timely subject has seen little recent coverage. Highly recommended for all business collections.?Kathy Shimpock-Vieweg, Muchmore & Wallwork Lib., Phoenix
