TITLE
Forget "Work-Life Balance" - How to Really Love Your Family
and Thrive at Work
BRIEF DESCRIPTION
If you have children, forget "work-life balance" - it's the wrong
goal. Instead, learn how to prioritize your family first and your
work a close second. Your business will thrive and you'll be happier
too because you'll have less guilt, worry and stress, and you
will experience more focus and sanity.
The presenter speaks from credibility - in 1998, her 8 1/2-year
old son, Mark, died suddenly from brain cancer. Learn the five
key lessons for every working parent that she learned the hard
way.
This message is for mothers, fathers, stepparents, grandparents
and employers.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Professional working parents - engineers, salespeople,
lawyers, doctors, accountants, admistrators, executives - who
have children living at home, or human resources professionals
responsible for employee retention and attraction of key employees
with children living at home.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Attendees shall be able to:
1. Discover which of the typical concerns of working parents are
most challenging for them
2. Understand why “balancing” work and life is the
wrong goal and instead to prioritize their family first and their
work a close second
3. Learn 5 Key Lessons for every working parent that will help
them put keep their priorities
4. Share ideas and solutions with other working parents
BENEFITS TO THE EMPLOYER
Decreased Human Resources costs and Increased Employee Happiness
** Increased productivity of all employees - When working parent employees hug their family members before work, the employee is more focused on the job and has higher productivity. In addition, they have fewer distractions, like divorces and problems with their children.
** Increased utilization of key employees
- When key employees can't accept a transfer or promotion because
their children aren't coping well, the employer is the ultimate
loser. This presentation helps companies utilize their key employees
at their highest capacity.
** Increased retention of key employees - By
the time an employee develops into a "key employee," they are
often married and have children. This presentation gives parent
employees the tools to be successful at home and at work so key
employees don't have to quit or work part-time because of family
issues.
BENEFITS TO THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS
** Decreased frustration and increased peace-of-mind - "Work-Life
Balance" is a hot topic today because it's a virtually impossible
goal but employees keep trying to reach it, fall short, and fell
like they're failing. This presentation helps them see a different
paradigm. Instead of balancing, it promotes prioritizing.
