In a world that demands an unreasonable pace, can we achieve balance? Please note that this isn’t about the mythical “Work/Life Balance.” This is about establishing balance and flow within organizations, departments, and employees. Can a model be formed and implemented that can attain this, or is it some aspirational desire companies espouse, but don’t practice?

I think it’s worth talking about. Let’s get together for the May HR Roundtable to discuss - “Balance: Attainable or Impossible ??”

We’ll meet on Tuesday, 5/6/25 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks. (directions are below with an updated link to the map). We will meet in the Annex (right next to the cafeteria).

As part of this “balance” topic, I’m sending this announcement out on the same day as the HR Net newsletter. Forgive me and give me some grace because I want to inform you about this next Roundtable during the holiday, spring break season.

If you could, please email me at: sbrowne@larosas.com, and let me know if you can join us to tackle this needed topic in May. I hope you can make it !!

Thanks – Steve
