Event Details

We’ve been hearing for several years that communities are being affected by the pandemic, and it is absolutely true! Individuals are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 Crisis in both their workplaces and at home.

While maintaining work/life balance has always been challenging, it’s been made even more difficult while living through a pandemic. We are increasingly putting our health and wellbeing at risk if we don’t make room for it. 

Achieving work/life balance begins with figuring out what will work best for you but there are a few steps that should be essential to the process of maintaining your health and wellbeing, which is the ultimate goal of work/life balance.

Come join a panel discussion with women in leadership roles from the Infrastructure NZ network hosted by Dana Traenkle (a Wellbeing Coach from EY) to find out more about their journey with obtaining a healthy work/life balance.
