Work-Life Balance - New Perspectives

Overview

Work-life balance is a topic we hear about all the time. But we often think about it as being the employee's issue to resolve.

Thinking about as the responsibility of both the employee and the employer can shed new light on the topic.

Employers create culture, adopt policies and norms in the workplace that impact employee work-life balance, and hence their well-being. A culture of well-being in the workplace strives to reduce the conflict between work and life for employees.

Work-life balance has new meaning in a world where many employees are working from home. There are new challenges in a world where we no longer commute, or send children to school.

This session addresses the role of both the employee and the employer in creating a workplace that fosters and encourages work-life balance.
