Imagine you are an employee who wants to propose new Family-Friendly programs to your employer. Create an official memo to the company manager explaining the benefits of implementing this family-friendly program in your workplace (200-300 words/.5-page minimum). Describe the program, implementation techniques, and the conditions it will improve for the organization and the employees (i.e. absenteeism, turnover, employee commitment to the organization, job satisfaction, etc.).
NOTE: For all three parts, Incorporate Terminology from the reading material to build your response. Provide citations for your sources and do not include the assignment questions within your response.
