A study by a team of WFHN researchers published in Social Problems reveals that for employees who participated in STAR (a workplace flexibility / supervisor support initiative that was part of the WFHN intervention study) there were lower turnover intentions 12 months later and a reduction in the risk of voluntary turnover over almost three years.

A novel study published in the journal Sleep by the Work, Family & Health Network has found that when work demands conflicted with the personal lives of those in the intervention study and created stress, the duration, quality and regularity of the employees' sleep was negatively impacted.

The findings of a WFHN study published in Work, Aging and Retirement suggest that Boomer-aged professionals and managers who were given more control over their schedules and increased supervisor support as part of the STAR workplace intervention were more likely to plan on a later retirement from their current job.

According to the findings of a WFHN study published in Social Science & Medicine, long-term care workers who received better work-family support (even if that support facilitated their ability to have a second job to better meet the needs of their families) provided better quality of care to their patients (as measured by number of patient falls, pressure ulcers and injuries).
