"Creating a supportive work-life culture is part of the new competitive landscape of attracting top talent in higher education. Dual career couples and working parents are just two of the reasons why senior leadership must pay attention to building supportive organizational cultures if they wish to recruit and retain faculty and staff. Bryan and Wilson provide clear road maps and valuable resources for creating new structures that allow faculty, staff, and students to be productive and successful."
--Robynn M. Pease, Ph.D., 2014 President, College and University Work-Life-Family Association
"Shaping Work-Life Culture in Higher Education is an excellent, readable account of what you need to know about work-life to be an effective leader in an institution of higher education. Not only does it provide a compilation of the research to date plus a complete list of resources; the authors have also developed a practical, step-by-step guide for both academic and non-academic leaders."
--Carol Hoffman, Associate Provost and Director of Work/Life, Columbia University
