You are invited to attend a special forum on the topic of Reducing Role Overload in the Health Care Sector arranged by the Work/Life Association in conjunction with Monash University's Australian Centre for Research in Employment and Work (ACREW) and Victorian Hospitals’ Industrial Association.
Although this presentation is based on work in the health sector it is a unique opportunity to hear from a leading work/life expert and will be of particular interest for HR Managers, Directors, line managers and supervisors in any sector where workload is an issue.
Dr. Duxbury has published widely in both the academic and practitioner literatures in the area of change management, supportive work environments, work-family conflict, stress, managing the new workforce and supportive management. Within the business school at Carleton, Dr. Duxbury teaches masters and PhD courses in Managing Change as well as the Masters course in Organizational Behaviour.
Role overload is having too much to do in the amount of time that you have to do it in– having too many responsibilities and too little time in which to attend to them.
This presentation will summarize the key findings from an in-depth investigation of the role overload phenomenon in Canadian hospitals. It provides answers the following questions:
Dr Duxbury’s presentation will be followed by a facilitated discussion to draw out perspectives about how her findings could be applied to health and other environments in Victoria.
