In June the White House hosted a Summit on Working Families. As I talk to our employees and visit other employers it is evident that the work-life challenges are more intense. Most kids now grow up in households where all parents work. Women and men are both struggling to meet their work and family responsibilities and many workplaces have not kept up with their work flexibility and access to leave needs. The sandwich generation is being squeezed more by grown kids who can’t find work and eldercare, which result in high stress, obesity, and unhealthy lifestyle choices. This is not about balancing work life and home life, but about having the energy to be effective at both. Energy gained and maintained through daily wellness practices.
