Thursday September 16th: EAP Webinar: Work-Life Integration | 1:00 - 3:00 pm
Finding a perfect balance between work and personal life can seem impossible, especially because technology has evolved so work and the rest of life go everywhere with us. Instead of trying to find the perfect balance (which may not be possible!), let us help you find the best integration in your day-to-day life. In this course, you will assess how well you currently integrate work and person commitments, reflect on what is most important so you can prioritize your time, and learn how to identify and address burnout.
