Making low-wage jobs family friendly: An oxymoron or cutting edge? (Part I) Friday, March 9, 2007 at 3 PM EST Click here to listen to this audio conference in streaming audio. How are some clothing and grocery chain stores restructuring low-wage service jobs to make them more family friendly? How does advance notice help with child care, stress, absenteeism, and productivity? What role do supervisors play? What’s the bottom line on health—for the business, and for the worker and family?
