Perceptions of Organisational Family Support

When a family cannot fulfil their role, support outside the family is available to help with satisfying specific needs, building relationships and promoting wellbeing. Support available to families and individuals are resources that are economic, non-economic, human, non-human, formal and informal. The literatures on the subject of discrimination, families and support in the community, are in agreement that discrimination, when it does happen, has a negative impact on families accessing support and this in turn has a negative impact on family

The Family Systems Stressor-Strength Inventory (FS3I) scoring reflects how well different aspects apply to the Hyppolite family. Includes health issues, responsibilities, communications, work situation, satisfaction, housekeeping standards, etc… The Scoring was divided into two different sections, Family Perception Score and Clinical Perceptions Scores. Both sections were then divided into another three parts. The tool strengths and stressors factors are

The Family Systems Stressor-Strength Inventory (FS3I) is an instrument used to evaluate and measure stressful conditions occurring in families and assists nurses and families in developing intervention activities. By using this instrument, strengths and weaknesses of family functioning can be identified. The FS3I involves independent completion of the instrument by each member of the family prior to the interview with the clinician. After completion of the instrument, the clinician assesses the family on each of the stressful conditions from a general and specific perspective. The strengths and coping mechanisms of the family are also evaluated. Both quantitative and qualitative data are used to define the intervention needed to establish equilibrium

In the focus of assessment, both the Bowen and the Structural model suggest an essential concentration on evaluation. Then again, both models are somewhat dissimilar in the assessment and assessment methodologies. The Bowen model and the Structural model suggest they both regard the family structural unit as a point in theory and generational processes. However, both theoretical concepts search for patterns differently. For example, the Bowenian counseling approach explores the intricate patterns and interactions of intergenerational behaviors amongst the family (Bowen Center for the Study of Family, 2018). However, the Structural family model examines patterns in consideration of such indicators versus the patterns of those that are generational. Interestingly, counselors use a directive approach with their clients as well as having established a familial therapeutic alliance as well as with the family expansion (Karam et al., 2015). The Bowenian therapy differs in counseling in that those members of the family unit resolve unfinished business, and the Structural counselor focuses on restructuring.

We all know that a company that can build trust and bring about a rewarding atmosphere of personal appreciation and contribution will develop workplace norms and behaviors that bring outstanding performance from its personnel. Of the companies on our list the ones chose to research were CHG Healthcare, Wegmans Food Markets and Google. All three of these organizations caught my attention for number reasons, but what got my attention the most and really made me choose them was how they value their employee’s and strive to satisfy their needs. Most of us strive provide the best way of life possible for our families. When searching for employment people

B., Baldwin, L. M., Bishop, D. S. (1983), Based on the McMaster Model of Family Functioning (MMFF), the FAD measures structural, organizational, and transactional characteristics of families. It consists of 6 scales that assess the 6 dimensions of the MMFF - affective involvement, affective responsiveness, behavioral control, communication, problem solving, and roles - as well as a 7th scale measuring general family functioning. The measure is comprised of 60 statements about a family; respondents (typically, all family members ages 12+) are asked to rate how well each statement describes their own family. The FAD is scored by adding the responses (1-4) for each scale and dividing by the number of items in each scale (6-12). Higher scores indicate worse levels of family functioning. The FAD has been widely used in both research and clinical practice. Uses include: (1) screening to identify families experiencing problems, (2) identifying specific domains in which families are experiencing problems, and (3) assessing change following treatment” (Epstein, N. B., Baldwin, L. M., Bishop, D. S.,1983). Epstein et al. (1983), noted that the FAD assessment has been found to have high levels of internal consistency across a variety of different types of families (Epstein et al.,

“A seminal study of 527 U.S. companies, published in the Academy of Management Journal in 2000, suggests that “organizations with more extensive work-family policies have higher perceived firm-level performance” among their industry peers. These findings accorded with a 2003 study conducted by Michelle Arthur at the University of New Mexico. Examining 130 announcements of family-friendly policies in The Wall Street Journal, Arthur found thst the announcements along significantly improved share prices. In 2011, a study on flexibility in the workplace by Ellen Galinsky, Kelly Sakai, and Tyler Wigton of the Families

Family assessments can be complex and challenging because all families are found to be unique and so are the issues they encounter and the solutions they find (Holland, 2005). This essay will examine a case study that is mentioned within the appendix; and use theoretical models to formulate a bio-psychosocial assessment in the light of the family’s family life stage and provide a brief intervention. This essay will first state the presenting issues and then go onto formulating a bio psychosocial assessment and will draw learning from different theoretical frameworks such as the multidimensional approach; functional family therapy model, collaborative family work model, multigenerational family systems model to inform the assessment. Aspects of the theory and how they inform the assessment will be highlighted and risk and protective factors will be identified through the assessment. The essay will conclude with a brief intervention plan based on the assessment formulated and the theories used.

The purpose of the study was to show how supportive management practices and enriched work design

Need to bond with our fellow humans… establish room for socialization and a strong culture. There is an enormous boost in motivation when employees feel proud of belonging to the organization and feel that they have a ‘work family’.

This is a summary of career counseling sessions with a client, by the name of Ellen N., she is currently employed but is considering switching employers. Ellen and I completed various assessments to assist with providing her options for future employment. The assessments utilized were Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Holland Codes, Kuder Career Assessment. Ultimately, determining that this clients’ case would be best served by using the Attachment Theory and the Family System theory in order to assist with making the most effective career choice for this client.

The independent variables were the perception in which the subordinate and the family felt they were being abused. With the supervisor/subordinate relationship it was the amount in which they believe the psychological contract had been broken. Also the amount in which they believe they had been verbally demeaned. The operational definition for these variable was “what defines supervisor abuse? And what defines family undermining? These definitions where defined by the use of questionnaires. The questionnaires covered the very personal questions of

The Friedman Family Assessment is a tool used to assess the “family as a whole, as part of the whole of society, and as an interaction system” (Lancaster & Stanhope, 2008, p. 569). The Friedman Family Assessment has certain assumptions for the families that are assessed with this tool. These assumptions include the families are “a social system with functional requirements, a small group possessing certain generic features common to all small groups, as a social system accomplishes functions that serve the individual and society, and individuals act in accordance with a set of internalized norms and values that are learned primarily in the family through socialization” (Lancaster & Stanhope, 2008, p. 569). The

After careful examination of the rigor used in each study design, sample, and analysis of ninety-five studies related to family presence, McAlvin and Carew-Lyons narrowed their findings down to six studies. Of the six studies that comprised this review, one was quantitative, one was qualitative, and four were mixed-methods designs. Each of the six studies included revealed similar findings, in that the three main concerns pertained to being present, satisfaction and coping.

Dr. Murray Bowen, a psychiatrist, offered us the family systems theory. This theory views the family as an emotional unit, further providing a thinking systems approach to describe the complex interactions in the unit. Bowen offered, “A change in one person’s functioning is predictably followed by a reciprocal change in the functioning of others” (Kerr, 2000). If one person within the family unit is having a difficult time, it effects everyone within the family unit. An example of this would be a father who is the primary breadwinner for his family suddenly loosing his job. Prior
