Work Life Balance. (WLB) The parties agree to create a Work- Life Balance (WLB) division of Human Resources, resulting from realignment of the current employee assistance program (EAP) at all levels. This infrastructure will help ensure that the work-life balance services offered are consistent program-wide while fostering better communication about the availability of the services. The WLB division will include health promotion, employee assistance and referral services, and will enable the organization to offer more robust work-life balance services to employees that lead to cost savings, employee retention and increased employee satisfaction. Resources for the WLB division at the national level will include a director of WLB, a dedicated labor partner, a project manager, analytical staff and existing EAP resources. Additional resources will be identified at the regional and local level as needed to effectively support the WLB division and should be integrated with unit-based team infrastructure to the extent practical. The Strategy Group will provide program- wide oversight for the WLB division. Regional and local WLB committees with management, union, physician, dentist and EAP representation will provide support to the division.
