Remember when business forecasters predicted how the computer was going to revolutionize our lives? The PC was going to do our work for us on our jobs, provide us with more time, and even do our chores! Well, Americans are working harder today, with more hours, doing multiple tasks. Add long commutes, various schedules, and the kids' activities, and too many times employees are sick and burned out, with their families and marriages being pulled apart. The good news? More employers are recognizing these needs! Here at Families Northwest, we honor companies who are family friendly - companies like Telect in Spokane and Pacific Crest Cabinets in Auburn - that know healthy marriages help shape healthy employees. They sponsor employees and their spouses to marriage work shops and retreats. These companies have sensitive and flexible managers who go out of their way to help employees' families. Because they know that a healthy employee is able to focus on his or her job when he or she is at work, and totally enjoy their family when they go home!
