Session Chair:
Will Searight (Westinghouse Electric Co.)
In today’s always on-call workplace, it can seem (and often is) impossible to manage all the expectations, responsibilities and mental load of personal, family and professional duties. Where do we find the time to breathe? How can we manage all the hats/roles we wear while not letting too many things slip through the cracks? This panel will feature a diverse selection of speakers from the nuclear community, including private industry, government/national laboratories and academic institutions. Panelists will offer a glimpse into their stories and day-to-day lives, and then be available to answer questions from audience members and offer suggestions on managing work-life balance.
