New from the Network:

Three new entries in the Work and Family Encyclopedia:

A few articles that caught my eye this week:

Prepping Children for the 9 to 5 - In her latest Life’s Work column for the New York Times, Lisa Belkin discusses Generation Y’s attitude towards the workplace, how it differs from those of other generations, and how parents and others can help prepare Generation Y for life as working adults.

House Subcommittee Hears Testimony on Proposed FMLA Changes, Paid Leave - CCH Business & Corporate Compliance reports on testimony before the House Subcommittee on Workforce Protections, Committee on Education and Labor. People had the opportunity to testify for and against the proposed FMLA changes as well as the possibility of paid leave for workers caring for a new child or sick family member or managing their own serious medical condition.
