Coping with Constant Connectivity

Strategies to Create Better Work-Life Boundaries

Hosted by the Well-Being and Resiliency Community

While digital connectivity can provide flexible work schedules and environments, it can also be an obstacle for adequate separation of work and non-work. Effective boundary management is a key factor for well-being and employee engagement. Identifying your personal work-life boundary management style can provide insights to promote work-life balance. We will discuss how individuals can incorporate strategies to promote boundary management and how organizations can support their employees’ boundary management styles though leadership and culture change.

Objectives:

• Describe how boundary management is a key factor for well-being and employee engagement. 
• Identify work-life boundary management styles.
