October is designated as National Work and Family Month.

The Alliance for Work-Life Progress (AWLP) came up with this idea to “encourage all workplaces to pause once a year and reflect on the progress already made on the journey to work-life effectiveness, celebrate and then raise the bar, moving on to even more pervasive progress.”

As a result, the AWLP has provided many tools and resources online for both employers and people seeking better work-life alignment. 

A few particularly handy tools include…

• A Flexible Work Arrangement Self-Assessment Questionnaire – useful for those preparing to ask their current employer for a more flexible work arrangement
• A Flexible Work Arrangement Request – customizable template
• The Employee’s Guide to FMLA

The AWLP.org site provides a plethora of free resources and tools to help you initiate discussion with decision-makers at your place of employment.
