WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy announced the formation of Task Force Life/Work (TFLW) on June 19 in NAVADMIN 159/07 to develop and implement polices, programs and changes to enhance Sailors’ life/work balance. TFLW will be made up of representatives from across the fleet, Navy enterprises, and officer/enlisted communities whose mission is to create initiatives to address the emerging challenges the Navy faces in recruiting and retaining the next generation of 21st Century leaders. The task force’s first meeting is scheduled for July 11.
In the next year, TFLW will focus on initiatives to enhance healthy life/work balance, such as telework and off-on ramps. The specific tasks assigned are: examine initiatives the Navy can influence now through policy; identify efforts that will require Department of Defense or congressional approval to plan for conducting long range engagement; and solicit feedback from the fleet on what changes Sailors desire for improved life/work balance.
