Work-Life Balance Programs

The University of Pennsylvania is interested in maintaining its status as a premier educational and research institution and employer. Change and competition have dramatically increased the work demands in education and research environments. At the same time, these pressures have impacted the entire American workforce. With the “traditional” family accounting for less than 7% of all American families, there is less support at home than in past decades. As a result, workers have more to do every day in all parts of their lives.

The University of Pennsylvania is committed to helping its faculty and staff find a balance between their work, personal and family lives by offering a variety of quality of worklife programs designed for this purpose. These include:

Flexible Work Options
Dependent Care Support Services and Work & Family Services Online Portal
Snow Day Child Care
