Abstract

The Government established the Work-Life Balance Project in August 2003 recognising that work life balance has economic and social benefits. Given that some people face significant challenges attaining the appropriate balance for them and their workplaces, the Government sought information from individual and business perspectives on work-life balance in a context of labour and skills shortages, a desire to improve productivity and labour force participation. This paper explores some of the key themes emerging from the consultation process and other research.
