Try to see it my way…

Next week, I’ll be flying to the Netherlands to present at the European Association of Work and Organisational Psychology (EAWOP) Conference 2011.

We’re not designed to be “always on”…

I spotted an item in the news the other day about Research in Motion’s new Blackberry technology to help its customers improve their work-life balance. Called “Balance”, the new software will allow Blackberry users to keep their work-related content and personal content separate from each other. While adding to existing corporate security... read more →

Aside from presenting a poster on my own doctoral research and attending the usual round of presentations and workshops, I was invited to be the discussant at a symposium on Work-Life Balance and Health Behaviours. Organised... read more →

So you want to be a Psychologist?

I’m sure I’m not the only professional psychologist who has to regularly describe what I actually *do* for a living. Despite the best efforts of the British Psychological Society, my experience tells me that a lot of the British public are still unclear as to what psychologists do and how they... read more →

The Recession: a challenge for Work-Life Balance

The recession across Europe has shifted the focus of many commentators from well-being in organisations to the fundamental survival of those organisations. Unemployment in the private sector has risen sharply and the public sector in the UK is undergoing radical reorganisation and down-sizing. On the one hand, organisations are looking... read more →

What’s in a name?

Like many other research areas in psychology, the terminology used to address Work-Life Balance has developed with time, in the most part reflecting an evolution of research focus. However, there still remains a plethora of terms used, seemingly interchangeably, to describe an examination of the interface between the workplace and... read more →

Paternity leave: leading by example

The BBC today reported that a Japanese Mayor is taking paternity leave. Surely it’s a reflection on the status of work-life balance in Japan that this made the news at all!

The Writing’s on the Cards…

As we draw closer to official election season here in the UK, the number of “silly season” political stories has been increasing steadily. Monday’s Telegraph article on the party leaders was a case in point.

UK to extend Paternity Leave rights

Last week, Gordon Brown announced another shake-up of the rules governing parental leave while at the Trades Union Congress (TUC) annual conference in Liverpool. Plans to extend maternity leave from nine months to one year have been shelved in favour of extending a father’s right to paternity leave. In addition, as an... read more →
