ANU Staff Work/Life Balance Survey
   
 
Information for Participants
The aim of this survey is to find out which work and life demands influence health, work performance and family outcomes, as well as identify which work-life policies are of most value to the ANU and its employees. This survey is part of a larger research project across four countries (Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and China) and will involve over 20,000 employees and several universities (as researchers and/or participants).

No personally identifiable information will be collected on the survey (other than the responses that you choose to provide). All participation is voluntary and entirely confidential.

This survey is for ANU staff only. It should not be completed by ANU students.
