"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.
