Upcoming webinars

Supporting Worker and Family Well-being Through Healthy Work Design

Join us for two webinars in October in honor of National Work and Family Month. Working conditions can affect workers in their lives outside of work, impacting family interactions and outcomes. Children specifically are influenced by:

  • How much time a parent spends at work.
  • When their parents work.
  • Whether their parents' work is flexible, provides living wages, and is supportive.

Through these webinars, you'll learn how employers can support a sustainable work-nonwork interface for families. Our speakers will describe the important role supportive employment can play for workers and their children, throughout all phases of family life.
