(included in Half-Day and Full Day sessions)
- The Work-Family Interface Model: This model explains how work and family intersect and how this can lead to conflict or enrichment. It can be leveraged within work settings by understanding the different ways in which work and family intersect and implementing policies and practices that support a healthy work-family balance.
- The Work-Life Integration Model: This model emphasizes the fluidity and flexibility of the work-family balance, recognizing that it can vary based on individual circumstances and needs. It can be leveraged within work settings by promoting a culture of flexibility and supporting individualized approaches to work-life integration.
- The Work-Life Balance Continuum: This model suggests that work-life balance exists on a spectrum, with complete separation at one end and complete integration at the other. It can be leveraged within work settings by helping employees find the right balance for them and supporting them in making changes to their work and family commitments as needed.
At the end of this session, participants will have a better understanding of the challenges faced by working parents and will be equipped with strategies and resources to support them in finding a healthy work-family balance. Participants will be able to identify and address issues related to work-family balance in their own organization and will be prepared to support working parents in finding a balance that works for them.
