During National Work and Family Month, NIH hosted several other events showcasing resources to assist the NIH community in fulfilling work and family responsibilities. These included meet-and-greet sessions with NIH stakeholders on Work-Life Wednesdays and webinars such as Work-Life@NIH: A Workforce Guide to Workplace Well-Being. A new website, "Work & Family Month@NIH" (https://www.workfamilymonth.ors.nih.gov), highlighted events and resources.

For the culmination of October’s events, the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, the Office of Research Services and the Office of Human Resources co-sponsored the Work-Life@NIH Information Fair, featuring more than 40 information tables with career and family resources for newly hired, mid-career and preparing-for-retirement employees, as well as those navigating through caring for child, adult and elderly dependents.

Be on the lookout for next year’s Work & Family Month@NIH Campaign in October 2020.
