OHR 2008-002 - September 2007 Work & Family Life Employee Newsletter

There is an age-old belief that working parents don’t make very good employees because they are always distracted by their home responsibilities.

Inside this first Work & Family Life edition of the new fiscal year is a brief but persuasive article refuting such notions.  The article is entitled “Study finds parents make better managers” makes a number of key points including “raising a family helps develop skills such as negotiating, compromising, conflict resolution and multitasking, which are important traits of successful managers.”  I think you will find the article interesting.

There are also a number of other articles of interest in the September edition of Work & Family Life.  You may reference the issue by clicking on:  http://www.uthscsa.edu/hr/worklife/09_2007.pdf
