has completed the following course:
Work-Life Balance and the Impact of Remote Working
This course focused on the context in which work-life balance has grown, comparing the key theories of work-life conflict, work-life integration and enrichment, and boundary management. The course also investigated the future of work, evaluating how technology allows individuals to work more flexibly, but in the meantime risking less time to switch off and recover from work. We also discussed flexible working practices as a means to enhance work-life balance.
