Diseño de políticas familiarmente responsables en el Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado del cantón San Fernando para el año 2021

Abstract

Work is a fundamental part of the development of human beings. Nowadays, workers spend a great deal of their time fulfilling various obligations with the purpose of achieving the goals set out in their workspace. It has been shown that the way in which workers feel within their workspace drastically influences the performance of their work, personal and family activities. If a person feels good in his or her workspace, activities will be carried out more effectively and efficiently. One of the ways to improve working conditions is through the application of public policies that are Family Responsible. Thus, the objective of this research is to design Family Responsible Policies for the Decentralized Autonomous Government of the canton of San Fernando, to improve the work environment within it and therefore the fulfillment of institutional objectives. To meet this objective, it was decided to use a mixed methodology based on a field study, through which key data was collected on the work and family situation of the workers of the GAD. The results showed that although in general the working conditions were evaluated as good, there were also several problems where the workers did not feel truly heard by the authorities of the institution and in which discrepancies were reflected between the work and family spheres. Finally, a series of proposals were designed to improve family-responsible policies in the GAD based on: Flexible schedules, Workforce wellness management, Professional accompaniment, Extra-salary benefits, Recreation and community and Active suggestion box.
