The Third WorkLife Balance Employer Survey for 2007 provides an up-to-date picture of worklife balance practices and attitudes in British workplaces with five or more employees. As the third survey in the series, it offers the opportunity of assessing change over time in relation to worklife balance issues and the impact of new legislation in this area. The research covers a wide range of issues including working hours, provision and take-up of flexible working arrangements, awareness of legislative changes, leave provisions, support for working parents and employers' attitudes to worklife balance measures.
