Conference on Work-Life Fit for Hourly Workers:
Lessons for Employers and Unions

Monday, July 18, 2011 / 8:30am-12:30pm
Alumni Reception Center / U.C. Hastings College of the Law
200 McAllister St. / San Francisco, CA

Come join the discussion on new research and best practices for improving schedule effectiveness and work-life fit in hourly jobs, including successful models from both employer policies and union contracts. Most research on work-life fit has focused on workplace flexibility for professionals. Yet common scheduling practices for hourly workers can be even more costly, with unstable and rigid schedules leading to rampant absenteeism and turnover. Learn how your workplace can enhance work-life fit for its hourly workers – and improve its bottom line.
