FACILITATING FAMILY LEARNING ON WORK & LIFE BALANCE
Date du début: 1 oct. 2009,

The problem of work-life balance is still faced by many families and often results in withdrawal of one of family members from the labour market. Despite some employers’ initiatives to make family-friendly workplaces, they aren’t widely spread and recognized in partner countries. Thus, the bottom-up approach encouraging involvement of employees themselves in implementing family-friendly measures at workplaces becomes of crucial importance. The project aims to develop an innovative approach to family learning on work-life balance. This will increase capacity of employees to contribute themselves to implementation of family-friendly initiatives at workplaces and as a result, to remain active on the labour market.Project will develop the State of Art Review on family-friendly policies and practices. It will contribute to developing the content of the training modules for learners and will define the competency profile of family consultant on work and life balance, who will work with family members having problems to reconcile work and family life.The Collection of good practices based on personal reflection of the employees who have benefited from the family-friendly measures at workplaces will be developed. Collection will include brochure with interviews and DVD with video-clips in all partners' languages. These outcomes will create the basis for the innovative training modules for family learning on work-life balance resulting in E-Handbook. The guidelines for family consultant will introduce the new educational pathways to organize trainings on work-life balance for working family members and to encourage their active involvement in implementing family-friendly initiatives within their workplaces. Pilot training sessions for working family members will be organized by family consultants in partner countries. The envisaged impact concerns increasing capacity of working family members who have problems in work-life balance to remain active on the labour market.
