ACC Houston Career Development Webinar CLE
Navigating Work/Life Balance: Tools for Employers and Employees
October 18, 2023 | 12 - 1 pm | Zoom

 

Join the ACC Houston Chapter and Gibson Arnold & Associates for a lively discussion on Navigating Work/Life Balance: Tools for Employers and Employees. This one-hour event will provide members with tools and exercises in an interactive online session. RSVP today for this extraordinary webinar event.

Work/life balance – is it a catchy phrase or something that affects everything? Post-pandemic, the idea of work/life balance has a new meaning both psychologically and in terms of policy making. In this session we will investigate:

•    How do different generations view work/life balance?
•    What are employers doing to attract and retain employees that are seeking more balance between work, family, and pleasure? 
•    What are organizational scholars and psychologists saying about productivity and health related to work/life balance?
•    Is remote working increasing corporate revenues and employee salaries, while offering more work/life balance?
•    If I am working remotely, how do I keep a seat at the table and grow my career effectively versus those that are working in the office?
•    What are the pros and cons of remote, hybrid, and in-office models?
•    I’m a homebody and prefer remote work versus the classic type A personality – tools for both.
