The family friendly culture and benefits category measures the extent to which employees believe family-friendly flexibilities are offered to them, including telecommuting and alternative work scheduling, along with personal support benefits like child care subsidies and wellness programs. Due to changes in the survey format, the scores for 2005 and 2007 cannot be accurately compared in this category.
