B4 One: Work and Life: All in the Balance with Prof. Simonetta Manfredi
Having a good balance between work, family and other aspects of an individual’s life is fundamental to our well-being.
Has the biggest experiment on remote working, forced by the Covid-19 pandemic, helped to rediscover our work-life balance or has it disrupted it? Does technology enable work-life balance or make work all-pervasive? Will flexible working become the new normal? Join this webinar to explore these and other questions on work-life balance from an individual and an organisational perspective.
Simonetta Manfredi is Professor of Equality and Diversity Management and Associate Dean for Research and Knowledge Exchange at Oxford Brookes University. Her research interests and expertise focus on gender and leadership, age discrimination and retirement policies and work-life balance. She is co-author of Managing Equality and Diversity, published by Oxford University Press, which received the Chartered Management Institute Management Book of the Year Award in 2013 (under the management and leadership category).
