During these busy times when parents feel like they need more than 24 hours in day the First Couple is holding a Forum on Workplace Flexibility on March 31st. This is all in an effort to make the workplace an environment that supports parents so that they do not feel they have to choose between career and family. Labor leaders, CEOs, small business owners, policy experts, moms, dads, and advocates are going to discuss ways to promote work place flexibility.
Work balance issues have been a top priority for FLOTUS who herself was once a working mom. A few years ago she was working full-time as a vice-president and faced some of the same challenges that many working mothers deal with everyday. The challenges and concerns of parents are being given a voice in the highest office in the land. Hopefully this will make life better for working parents and their children. In what ways do you think that workplace flexibility can be promoted?
