Prioritization and Work / Life Balance: Do Less, Work Better

Prioritization and Work / Life Balance: Do Less, Work Better

Recorded November 2018 

About This Webinar

Work/life balance is important to our society regardless of gender. Many professionals today are experiencing the “sandwich” effect—taking care of a family as well as aging parents. In addition, there’s pressure to say “yes” to every opportunity or request that comes across your desk to be successful at work. Studies have shown that working women experience greater difficulty than men in balancing work and life outside of work, especially when raising a family. We will discuss the larger picture where prioritization is required to be successful at work and home; how our whole lives need to be considered by women and men as employers and employees; and ideas and strategies that can help us get a better balance.
