Global Workforce Roundtable


A 24/7 globally connected workforce


The Global Workforce Roundtable was established in 2005 with the mission to provide a dynamic forum for a multicultural exchange of information, best practices and lessons learned among leading corporations seeking to enhance their global workforce strategies. The Center for Work and Family (CWF) brings a work-life perspective to such strategies with the aim to help employees lead productive professional and personal lives. Areas of focus include support for working parents, flexible work arrangements, well-being and employee development. Recognizing that a global workforce has distinct needs in these areas, diversity and inclusion will be continuous themes of the Global Workforce Roundtable.
