"The damage done by involuntary overtime becomes apparent in a recent Cornell University survey," the economist notes. "Workers reporting high pressure to work overtime experienced double the work injuries suffered by those who were not."

Apart from not demanding unwarranted overtime work, employers can help ease some tensions between jobs and families by adopting flexible policies (like job-sharing, flextime, and home-based work) that make it easier for workers to meet both job and family needs.

William Pollack of Harvard University reports raising employee satisfaction by 20 percent sometimes boosts company financial performance more than 40 percent.
A recent DePaul University study, found the financial performance of the "100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2002" was "significantly better" than the average company listed among the S&P 500.
