Work Life Balance

Recent member surveys have identified work life balance as a top priority. An advisory committee has been formed to address the work life flexibility issues facing our members. The mission of this advisory committee is to promote a culture within the chartered accountancy profession that is known for work life flexibility. It will do so by creating clarity about the unique issues that encourage or prevent work life balance / flexibility, by providing current information on the unique issues in a very useable and informative way for members in practice and by engaging CICA leadership, business and industry, small firm interests to support the mission.
