Human Resource Discussions and Responses

Question 1

Define and discuss work-life balance. Develop a profile of the type of person most likely to experience extensive work-family conflict. Identify work pressures, family pressures, and personal characteristics most likely to produce a work-family conflict. Be specific in your description. You can be creative in your response.

• Discussion Expectations:
• Initial response should be at least two (2) paragraphs in length.
• You are required to respond/give feedback to at least two (2) of your peers, which should add value, analysis or recommendations, as this is how we learn best (experiential learning).
• Question 2
• From an HR perspective, how can the organization help dual career employees (does not imply in the same organization) to better manage their work and family life so they remain high performers? Name some resources that would be effective. Refer to Table 6.1 (pg., 138).
