10 возможность
сущ.По сравнению с русским нейтральным существительным возможность его английские эквиваленты указывают на степень достижимости и на наличие средств для претворения этой потенциальной возможности в жизнь.1. possibility — возможность, вероятность (то, что может произойти или вероятно произойдет): possibility of success (of failure) — возможность удачи (провала/неудачи); within the range (the bounds) of possibility — в пределах возможного; a degree of possibility — степень вероятности His victory in the contest must be regarded as a possibility. — Его победу в конкурсе следует рассматривать, как одну из возможностей./Возможно он победит в конкурсе.

20 family friendly policy
HRa variety of working practices designed to enable employees to achieve a satisfactory work-life balance. A family friendly policy is often introduced by an organization to facilitate the reintroduction of women with children into the workplace. Equal opportunities legislation and corporate good practice, however, require that such a policy is open to all employees. Typically, a family friendly policy will allow for a variety of flexible working practices and may go further by providing childcare or eldercare facilities, or paid time off for participation in community activities as part of a community involvement program. Although the introduction of a family friendly policy may initially be expensive, benefits to the organization, including improved employee retention and higher motivation and job satisfaction levels, are believed to offset these costs.
