Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the perceptions of CEOs and HR managers on family-friendly management and family-friendly company certification in small- and medium-size businesses. Six CEOs and HR managers participated in focus group interviews. Five themes were identified: provision of various family-friendly workplace policies, recognition of the need for family-friendly management, difficulty introducing family-friendly management and family-friendly workplace policies, willingness to acquire family-friendly company certification, and ways to expand family-friendly management and family-friendly company certification. All participants agreed on the need for family-friendly management and provided different family-friendly workplace policy suggestions for employees regardless of their interests in acquiring family-friendly company certification. However, they also had difficulties introducing family-friendly workplace policies. This finding suggests that different incentives are needed to encourage companies to expand family-friendly workplace policies.
