ust in time for the holidays, and hopefully just in time for next year’s budget, we at
the Center for Work & Family have decided to reduce the cost of our Global Work/Life
Toolkit by 50%. As a member of our National Roundtable you can now purchase a
lifetime Toolkit license for $2500. Members who have used the toolkit have found it to
be extremely useful in helping them successfully assess, develop, and launch work-life
initiatives in their organizations.
The Global Work/Life Toolkit is an easy-to-use web-based resource to help you develop
and implement effective work/life initiatives. It provides process steps and a set of more
than 25 documented tools to assist your efforts.
The Toolkit is designed to assist human resource professionals in crafting and
implementing work/life and other HR initiatives in countries around the globe, including
the U.S. It provides you and others with the knowledge and tools necessary to develop
culturally sensitive and effective work/life solutions based on the organization's business
priorities, employee needs, and country cultural and legal requirements. As you develop
and implement your talent management strategy for 2013, consider adding the Global
Work/Life Toolkit as a resource for your Human Resources colleagues around the globe.
If you are interested in learning more about the Toolkit or seeing a demonstration,
