Do you hear there! - Balancing act
By LCDR Annette Nelson
Volume 50, No. 17, September 20, 2007 |

The Sea Change program is all about retention. One of the many areas that needs to be addressed is the ability to better balance work and life to ensure a sustainable career. SCIT has been tasked with developing initiatives that could help members achieve a better work/life balance and not have to make a choice between a meaningful career and quality time with their family.
We are a sea going service, but there should be opportunities to achieve a better balance; it may not be easy, it may not be cheap but Navy can ill-afford not to look at options, no matter how radical.
Comments and proposals from serving and ex-serving personnel, their spouses and their children would be appreciated. Copies of any past articles or papers that have examined this topic would be a bonus!
Please send hardcopy contributions to LCDR Annette Nelson, CP4-7-014, Dept of Defence, Campbell Park Offices, ACT 2600 or electronic versions to annette.nelson@defence.gov.au by the end of October.
Please help SCIT to make a difference. |
