In this paper we examine the reasons why companies might want to become family-responsible employers. Three models of the relationship between people and organizations are used to illustrate. In the mechanistic model, work-family policies are adopted as a marketing strategy. In the psycho-sociological model, companies use work-family policies to attract and retain talented employees. And in the anthropological/humanistic model, companies foster commitment through a family-responsible culture, as a consequence of treating employees as complete human beings.
