Work-life balance

Catbert skewers work life balance in today’s strip.

JobQuality.ca has added a feature to its web-site that allows you to find information on work-life balance across Canada.

Over the next few months, we will add new regional data on work-life balance to this site. The data will be drawn from the groundbreaking research report Where to Work in Canada? An Examination of Regional Differences in Work Life Practices by Professor Linda Duxbury (Sprott School of Business – Carleton University) and Professor Chris Higgins (Richard Ivey School of Business – University of Western Ontario).

This series of select indicators explores regional differences in Canada on issues of work-life balance. These new indicators will help employers, governments, and other policy makers develop human resource, social, and labour market policies that address issues of particular concern in each region.

Key areas to be examined:

• The Work Environment
• Perceived Flexibility – Management Support – Organizational Culture
• Work and Family Outcomes
• Family Outcomes
• Organizational Outcomes
• Employee Well-being
