Family and work-life balance, implementation measures, work teams, organizational democracyAbstract
This work suggests an organizational change process for the purpose of achieving balance between family and work life. This organizational change will arise as the result of a cultural change. This is the reason that we propose the creation of self-managed multidisciplinary work teams that define their own productive process, having flexibility in their work schedule in a context of organizational democracy. This work proposes new human resource policies based people, in such a way that all the members of the organization participate in a shared leadership project and engage in a productive reorganization, determining the phases to be completed in order to implement the change successfully.
