Wharton Work/Life Integration Project -- Case Studies

The Wharton Work/Life Integration Project has graciously allowed us to present four full-text in-depth case studies (some with teaching notes).

Stewart Friedman, Director, conducted a project that focused on the role of senior business management in creating culture change that benefited both personal life of employees and productivity for the organization.
