EAC Community Hour: Re-evaluating Work-Life Balance “Post-Pandemic”

Join us on Wednesday, June 30,  11am PST / 12pm MST / 1pm CST /  2pm EST to discuss the following and more. Are you concerned about the “return to normal”? Are you surrounded by the rhetoric that “everything is fine now,” and it’s okay to forget the experiences and lessons of the pandemic?

• Has your institution set a “back to normal” date? Has the language surrounding return to work been concerned with community and the necessities of social interaction?
• Do you feel a disconnect between the work you’ve been successfully completing at home for the past year and the potential lack of flexibility for telework “post-pandemic”?
• If you have been in the office, are you concerned about the lessening of restrictions?
• Are the rules for eating, distancing, and interacting for the fall up in the air? 
• Is it unclear whether you will be continuing on with your “regular” duties, as well as the tasks you have collected during the pandemic?
• What have you learned about the differences between working from home and in the office? Is there a way to create/advocate for a better balance between work and home separation while maintaining some measure of flexibility?  

Just as all of these concerns rise to the forefront, now may be a unique time for advocacy! How can we use what we have learned and done in the past year to bolster our positions and ask for a better work-life balance? View the Community Hour doc here. *NEW* If you’d like to receive a Google Calendar invite (generally Outlook friendly) to help as a reminder, please select yes on the registration form.
