Case Application 1: Work/Life Balance at Baxter
1. I believe the role, work/life balance, play in the success of an organization. An employee wants to know and feel as though their employer cares for them and their family. When an employer cares this in turn compels the employee to return the favor by being productive. This creates for the employee the will to give your all to the company.

Non-stressed employees have the opportunity to be very productive while working for that company. According to “Work/Life Balance at Baxter” the company have grown steadily to 45,000 employments in 200 facilities worldwide. Work/Life balance is part of the culture at Baxter.

Employers may have to shift their work setting. Employers may have to shift their philosophy from treating everyone alike to recognizing individual differences and responding to those differences in ways that will ensure employee retention and greater productivity.

Employers also must find ways to assist employees in managing work/life issues.
