Assessing Work-Life Styles and Mapping Flexibility Cultures to Improve Leadership Talent

2014 Annual Conference
Workplace Application: Learn how to apply a model and assessment to help talent understand different work-life engagement styles and effectively manage work environments.

The line between work and personal roles is blurring, and individuals and organizations are beginning to recognize the inherent tradeoffs. The ability to control these boundaries well has been linked to a variety of meaningful outcomes, including lower work-life conflict, increased workplace retention and engagement, and enhanced psychological well-being. Gain a simple, research-based model to understand the three core elements of how individuals manage the boundaries between work and life, and leave this session better able to navigate virtual working and workplace flexibility to improve organizational effectiveness.

The When Work Works Sessions at the SHRM Annual conference explore ways to #ReinventWork and create effective workplaces. Visit WhenWorkWorks.org, a partnership between Families and Work Institute and SHRM, for more information.
