Interesting Features at PWN for 3.10.14

News from the PWN Pipeline:

"Work-life conflicts as an everyone issue, not a women's issue or a mom issue."

An article published in the March Harvard Business Review reveals, or perhaps confirms what many already know to be true, that significant gender differences emerge when men and women are evaluating work/life balance in terms of their work priorities and careers. Men tend to explain their inadequate time spent with family as the result of providing their family with opportunities and/or financial success, whereas women tend to focus less on financial achievement and more on reaching a balance in their careers to emphasize work and time spent with their families. The study suggests (confirms?!) that men may not be acknowledging that work-life conflicts impact them as well and that it is not specifically a women's issue.
