Work/Life Integration
Eleven HSL staff members attended the brown bag presentation on September 17 regarding Work/Life Integration at the University. Presented by David Perrotta of the Work/Life Resource Center, the attendees learned more about what the University does to assist employees with balancing their many roles.
Overall, the presentation reflected that striving toward this balance is beneficial for the employees as well as the organization as a whole. Attendees also learned about some of the specific programs available, such as helping line up child care, helping find caregivers for elderly parents, and flexible scheduling.
Thanks to everyone who participated, to Reference staff for allowing use of their space, and to Deborah for helping with Audio/Visual equipment.
Please contact Hollie if you would like handouts from the presentation. The WLRC’s website is available at the following link: http://www.hr.umich.edu/worklife/.
