 Work Life Balance Working Group
Who are we?
In 2009, the Division of Occupational Psychology launched a Working Group on Work-life Balance as part of their Science and Practice strategy. The Working Group is chaired by Almuth McDowall and Gail Kinman and includes other leading academics and practitioners in the fields of occupational and organisational psychology and human resources amongst its membership. We are also forging links between UK researchers and practitioners with those working in other countries.
