In the post-Covid landscape, a significant shift is occurring in how the workforce views work-life balance. The next generation of employees is redefining what it means to achieve success, placing greater emphasis on family, well-being, and flexible work arrangements. During this panel discussion, we will explore how employers are adapting to evolving expectations to create a more supportive and productive work environment.

Key topics include:

• Adapting to Generational Shifts: Understanding the evolving priorities of younger generations and learning strategies for employers to meet new expectations around work-life balance.
• Dual Parenting and Leave Policies: The growing importance of dual parenting roles in modern families and the impact of equitable paternity and maternity leave policies on family dynamics and employee satisfaction.
• Prioritizing Family Obligations: How employers can recognize and respect the importance of family commitments and create a culture that supports employees in balancing work and family life.
• Ensuring Fair Career Opportunities: Addressing the fear of missing out on career advancement due to prioritizing family and how employers can develop policies that ensure fair career progression for all employees, regardless of their family commitments.

Join in this dynamic conversation for actionable takeaways you can discuss at your company to help stay ahead in our rapidly changing workforce landscape, where work-life balance is no longer a perk but a fundamental expectation.

Blake Stalnaker, the 2024-2025 Young Leadership Program Chair and project manager with Sheridan Construction, will serve as our moderator.
