Life and Work Balance

We had a great turnout for last week's WiD Mentorship luncheon. Amy Slattery, founder of WiDKC and architect at BNIM gave a preview of her presentation about Life/Work Balance and the panel discussion she will be participating in at the AIA National Convention. She discussed examples of policies in practice by employers to promote the balance between life & work. What types of policies does your company have in place that works or doesn’t work?

Amy also discussed the shift in professional practice and mind set that we need to take in order for the design & architecture industry to become inclusive. What can we do as individuals and even on the business level to make this happen?
