Learn how four Booz Allen employees balance their personal and professional lives.
We’ve heard it before: “Plan ahead. Prioritize. Schedule time for your family as well as yourself.” Newsstands, broadcast media, and blogs overflow with advice for parents trying to meet family, household, and work responsibilities, while tackling the unexpected challenges that always arise.
Booz Allen Hamilton provides a broad range of family-friendly programs, policies, and forums to support its employees and the choices they make to create a viable equilibrium between work and life activities.
“We believe an employee’s personal life and career goals are both important,” says associate Natalie Jackson. “With our vast array of work/life programs, staff members can strive to achieve a healthy balance.”
From job-sharing, to part-time employment, to responsive full-time schedules and more, the firm is committed to providing the support, adaptability, and resources to help parents excel in their careers while enjoying quality time with their families. Here are just a few of the parents who use Booz Allen’s flexible work arrangements to live the lives they imagined.
