Work Stress and Family Balance
What’s It All About?
There is no agreed upon ‘reality’ regarding what it means to achieve work-family balance; rather, there are multiple realities. Whether the metaphor is one of work-family conflict, balance, collaboration, or integration – the dynamics at the intersection of work and family evolve such that new issues, concerns, and benefits constantly arise. To better understand and appreciate the often precarious relationship between work and families, it is necessary to cross the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines. As such, “Work and Families: Changing Realities” adopts a transdisciplinary approach, bringing together scholars from academic perspectives, including psychology, sociology, and economics, with leaders from the legal, business, and political communities. This one-day conference features interactive and engaging presentations. Attendees will have numerous opportunities to converse with renowned speakers from multiple fields, including a unique lunchtime activity. Join us on Saturday, March 25 for this one-of-a-kind conference, which promises to be a learning experience for all.
