Work and family present a bidirectional relationship, generating conflictive and/or conciliatory interactions (Álvarez, 2011, p.4), in which factors such as professional competence, communication, installed capacity and the environment, interactions and integrations and work under pressure, influence the individual and his family relationship, where their dynamics can manifest positive or negative behaviors. On the other hand, in Colombia there are 96,431 productive units according to the RUES - Registro Único Empresarial y Social, of which 2655 are present in El Espinal - Tolima, which led to the need to recognize the impact of the work environment on the family systems of the employees of one of the oldest companies such as "Ciclo Espinal", This became a qualitative research, with a descriptive-analytical scope, with the application of a structured survey, finding as results positive family environments in 43%, negative influence in the economic and stress levels. Concluding that the dynamics and interactions within the company allow opportunities for growth and social benefit, counteracted with the stress that is handled in high seasons for the entity where family relationships are negatively affected by the little time that workers devote to their families, the lack of communication.
