How Can I Minimize Conflicts Between Work and Family Obligations?

Emory knows that employees are happier and healthier if they have more balance in their lives and have more quality time for doing the things most important to them. The Emory WorkLife Resource Center is here to offer suggestions for you to consider to find a better work-life balance. Our goal is to help you be more productive both personally and professionally by providing you with the resources to help you save time and energy.

Let's define what a work-life balance really means.

1. Finding meaningful achievement of the things you enjoy most on a daily basis. This might include factors such as your family, friends, self, spirituality, and work.
2. A work-life balance does not mean an equal balance of all factors.
3. What works for one person does not work for all people.
4. What works for you now may not work for you in the future. You must continually reassess your situation and make changes as necessary.
