Successfully navigating the many demands of work and family life is never easy but a little planning and an inspiring vision can make all the difference. Working toward meaningful professional and personal goals can support employee and family wellbeing.

So, now that the kids are back at school - it’s time to stop, take stock and plan for a brighter 2024.

In this session, working parents have the opportunity to reflect on what’s working and what’s not working in their personal, family and professional lives.

Webinar includes

  • Reflect on the main areas of life: children, career, health, leisure and more
  • Rate how well they’re achieving life goals in each area
  • Start planning ways to incrementally improve each life area
  • Question and answer session

Imagine what it would be like to start the year with more clarity, more confidence and greater conviction – stepping into life with less self-doubt and less negative self-talk. This session can support employees to make a positive shift in their perspective - opening up exciting possibilities for 2024.

Throughout the 12-month programme you will

  • Receive practical strategies on supporting family wellbeing and managing day-to-day parenting challenges on a range of common issues
  • Learn about research findings on wellbeing, parenting and child development;
  • Enjoy tips to better manage work and family - develop your confidence and skills as a parent so you can reduce family stress and be more focused and productive at work.

You’ll find the complete list of the LIVE interactive webinars and other resources below and in the Work and Family Support Resource Centre.
