Work Life Leadership Council

Since its inception in 1983, the Work Life Leadership Council identifies emerging issues in the work life field and has helped shape and communicate appropriate business responses. The council, which meets twice a year, defines its mission as: “Providing leadership and support to influence the business community to meet the changing needs of its diverse work force and, thereby, enhance business success.” Recent topics have included:

  • The challenges of work today and the relationship to health and wellness
  • Using new social media in business
  • Work life and total rewards
  • Work life and employee engagement

We provide leadership and support to the business community as it evolves to meet the changing needs of its diverse workforce.

The power of peer learning

Enduring relationships with trusted peers are the core of the council experience. Enhanced by our global, enterprise-wide reach, these relationships span the world and extend the value of council membership. Confidential peer dialogue provides you with a broader perspective and shared experiences, as well as access to specific knowledge and best practices.
