Multilevel analysis gave us an insight where Slovenia is situated compared to Netherlands, Portugal, Great Britain and Sweden regarding public and organisational policies enabling reconciliation of paid work and family obligations. Analysis show that the implementation of reconciliation policies at the organisational level is at the lower level than in other countries (except Portugal).

COBISS.SI-ID: 29252189At the end of the twentieth century progressive organisations began to practice a holistic view regarding their employees’ well-being. The implication of such an approach means that questions about the human resource reproduction outside the sphere of paid work became relevant also for organisational policies. Researches that investigate utilization and actual practices of work–family policies pointed out that there often exists a gap between public policies and their implementation. The paper focuses on managers’/employers’ attitudes towards work-family demands of their employees.

It still accentuated restrictive income policy approach, but also explicitly dealt with issue of overall labour costs reduction i.e. the social security and other welfare state’s reforms which would lower overall labour costs and improve the country’s competitiveness.
