Improving Work-Life Satisfaction for Scientists

Given the work environments and expectations for scientists, and the fact that a career in science is very often a way of life and far more than a job, work-life satisfaction can be elusive. While advocating for change in policies and systems continues to be important, scientists must find the personal work-life balance strategies that apply to them within the environment in which they work. This program helps define what work-life satisfaction is and is not; understand how incongruence between priorities and actions can drain energy and negatively impact work-life satisfaction; examine how your current choices impact work-life balance and identify changes that will have the biggest impact on personal and professional satisfaction.
