UC DAVIS: VICE CHANCELLOR - ADMINISTRATION

October 10, 2006

DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS

RE: October Is National Work and Family Month

Throughout October, UC Davis will observe National Work and Family Month.  
National Work and Family Month is the result of U.S. Senate Resolution 
210 passed in September 2003 to build awareness about the importance of 
work-life effectiveness.  It states that the ability to effectively manage 
work, family, and personal responsibilities contributes to the well-being 
and productivity of the American worker and their workplaces.

Work Life integration encompasses child care, elder care, breastfeeding 
support, health and wellness, professional development, employee assistance, 
and alternate work arrangements.  UC Davis supports Resolution 210 in 
fostering flexible, supportive work environments through Staff Work Life, 
a collaboration of programs, resources, policies and practices to support 
our diverse campus by integrating self, work, life's important others and 
community.  

A listing of Work Life events and activities happening on campus this month 
is available at http://www.hr.ucdavis.edu/Work_Life/nationalwork.

For more information, please visit http://www.hr.ucdavis.edu/worklife or
