As Ms. Slaughter notes, many of these employees may be making this choice because they don\u2019t believe there is another way; there is no real support in the traditional workplace for alternatives such as job sharing, working at home, or working part-time.\u00a0 This loss of trained, skilled personnel has real costs to our agencies over time.\u00a0 Is this the best way?<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting that in professional fields traditionally dominated by women, such as teaching and nursing, we see workplace structures that are more progressive in this area.\u00a0 Job-share arrangements for teachers are very common. Nurses can work part-time, or per diem.\u00a0 Necessity has driven options into these workplaces, which is to the benefit of employers and their highly-skilled workers.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to have some meaningful discussions about how the 21st century public agency workplace should reflect 21st century priorities.\u00a0 While a prior generation may have viewed this as a women\u2019s issue, the new reality is that Generation X\u2019ers (the former latch-key kids who never saw their parents) and the Millennials (who are already tethered to the workplace 24\/7 via technology) view this as a\u00a0<em>quality-of-life<\/em>\u00a0issue.\u00a0 They are willing to put in the hours and work as hard or harder than anyone else, but with non-traditional means and schedules.\u00a0 Our public agencies and management frameworks need to adapt, or face an even greater brain drain away to the private sector over the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>Complex challenges don\u2019t lend themselves to simple answers.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think we start by coming up with new top-down programs or personnel policies to promote work-life balance. Let\u2019s start with an honest conversation about how public service work fits in as a part of a bigger life that embraces family, friends, volunteerism, faith, and other interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne-Marie Slaughter\u2019s stunning article in Atlantic magazine, \u201cWhy Women Still Can\u2019t Have It All\u201d, has started a new national discussion on the issues of work-life balance and gender differences.\u00a0 It would be impossible to sum up the perspectives of her complex and nuanced viewpoint in the few words of this column.\u00a0 But drawing on her [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,32],"tags":[41,47],"class_list":["post-179","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-career-advice","category-on-the-job","tag-career-advice-2","tag-career-balance"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
