Working Families is encouraging employers to get involved in National Work-Life Week in October.
National Work-Life Week 2016 will take place from Monday 3 October to Friday 7 October.
The week is an opportunity for both employers and employees to focus on well-being at work and work-life balance. Employers can use the week to provide a range of relevant activities for staff, and to promote their flexible working policies and practices. Working Families has a Toolkit for Employers which will tell you everything you need to know about National Work Life Week and how it can benefit your organisation. ‘ 'Go home on time day' ’ takes place on Wednesday 5 October and according to Working Families research , many parents are working far longer than their contracted hours every week. Mark the date in your calendar as a day to go home on time and do something you enjoy.
