Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Flexible work arrangements are one way to accommodate the diversity of lifestyles. Flextime programs give employees some discretion over their working hours. These programs have been well received and tied to productivity improvements and decreases in absenteeism. Compressed workweeks permit employees to work fewer but longer days. Job sharing is one way to manage part-time work. Pairs of employees share one job. Voluntary reduced work time programs allow employees to reduce the amount of time they spend on the job, typically 10-20, with a proportional reduction in pay. Telecommuting policies allow employees to perform part of their work from home. Support facilities and programs are a proactive way for companies to address the growing needs of employees. Examples would be child-care facilities and eldercare facilities. Personal support policies are a wide variety of efforts from transportation to high school equivalency classes, etc. All these programs are expensive, but companies are convinced they work, and in some cases, they actually save money.
