F&W has really been there from the early days when the conversation was taboo. It feels as if "work life concerns" were once considered a "women's or mommy issue" and therefore swept under the rug for fear it would make women seem less equip to handle the corporate chaos. Now - if you check out the latest report from F&W, it's evolved into a genderless issue with few financial or defined career boundaries. Everyone (male/female) is on the quest for better work life integration unless you're a bazillionaire with no kids. Hello Kathy,
Thanks for the kind and thoughtful comment. F&W has really been there from the early days when the conversation was taboo. It feels as if “work life concerns” were once considered a “women’s or mommy issue” and therefore swept under the rug for fear it would make women seem less equip to handle the corporate chaos. Now – if you check out the latest report from F&W, it’s evolved into a genderless issue with few financial or defined career boundaries. Everyone (male/female) is on the quest for better work life integration unless you’re a bazillionaire with no kids.

The women who told their stories on HotMommasProject.org speak often, and deeply, about balance. It involves so many things - emotional, logistical...the works. However, it really is one of those things that's "what life is really about" which is why the conversation continues. According to a SHRM / BCG study, work-life balance is a key future concern globally for every region except the Pacific. I'm sure The Families & Work Institute will continue to lead the way in shedding light on this important issue.
