b. A large number of female employees of childbearing age may be interested.
c. This program would help balance all the male-oriented programs.
d. Women employees who believe their employers are interested in their well-being are more productive and satisfied.
ANS: D
Women who believe their employers are interested in the well-being of themselves and their families are more apt to be productive and satisfied employees. Thus, the large employer can demonstrate this belief by offering a breast cancer education program. The primary purpose of offering this program would not be to provide media coverage for the employer, spark the interest of the female employees, or help balance the male-oriented programs.
