National Work and Family Month

As sponsored by Senator Orrin Hatch and 12 cosponsors, US Senate Resolution 210 designated October as National Work and Family Month in 2003. Imperative to business success, engaging in work-life initiatives, programs and activities throughout the year affords employers an opportunity to strengthen employee attraction, engagement, motivation and retention efforts. Shining a spotlight on related issues during the month of October engages the resolution's assertion that, "Reducing the conflict between work and family life should be a national priority."
