Balancing the demands of work and personal lives is not easy. Recognizing this, we offer programs that focus attention and achieve action to help employees deal with competing demands in their lives. Flexibility is the key principle embraced by Air Products, and we have many programs and policies for employees at various stages of life.

Flexible Work Arrangements
Many of our employees are able to take advantage of flexible schedules to allow them to effectively balance their personal needs with the needs of the organization. We use technology to promote this balance. This is part of our culture.
Depending on your job or location, these options may apply: flexible work schedules or compressed workweeks, reduced hours including part-time or job sharing, or telecommuting.
Work Life Resources
We have a free resource and referral service for practical advice and referrals related to parenting and childcare, eldercare, financial and college planning, retirement planning, and more. There is also a counseling and referral service for employees and family members with personal, mental health or substance abuse problems. The services also provides consultation to mangers and employees on sensitive workplace-based issues.
