Office of Work-Life

Providing Support for all Coast Guard Members and Their Families on the Great Lakes

Work-Life Philosophy

The purpose of the Work-Life initiative is to strike a reasonable balance between the needs of the Coast Guard and the needs of our members and their families. The goal is to create a total quality environment by which the Coast Guard will achieve organizational excellence and continue to provide valued services to our customers.

Work-Life issues are critical to individual and organizational achievement. They will always affect the Coast Guard’s mission performance and are certain to impact the future. Work-Life balance enhances diversity, recruitment, retention and most importantly, the job performance of the Coast Guard’s workforce.

For the Coast Guard to effectively compete as an employer in the 21st Century, we must build and maintain necessary support systems to provide a quality life to our employees. Achieving the Work-Life balance is critical to individual and organizational success.

The Coast Guard recognizes that Work-Life issues are critical to individual and organizational success. Achieving the Work-Life balance combines the formal structure of Work-Life staffs with an entire network of providers.
