September 4, 2008 - WCN networking event on September 4th

Where: Take the Survey

Join us for an After Work Networking Drink and ?Le Nozze di Figaro? open air at Filmfestival Rathausplatz.

19:30 at Ottakringer Bar (Yellow bar close to the screen) Film starts: 20:20 (190min) Film played: Le Nozze di Figaro by Mozart
?In this prodution for the Paris Opera Christoph Marthaler puts a new spin on Mozart?s social critique of ?droit du seigneur? by setting the action in a bridal shop, conveniently located near a wedding bureau. He looks at this opera from the point of view of the least important figures. Efective in its simplicity, the set provides easy entry and exits for a varied cast of characters to indulge in their various romantic entangelements. Everything is different, but yet Mozart gets a little closer to us living in the 21st century.?

Survey by Esade Business School - The Role of Females in Work Life Balance

Where: Take the Survey

Some women dream of changing the world! Yet, are some of them doing it? The role of females in creating a family friendly work environment

Many companies are implementing human resource practices in order to improve the work-life balance of their employees. But are practices such as flexi-time, job sharing, and tele-working efficient?

Lots of employees are afraid of taking advantage of these practices as they fear negative career consequences. Studies have shown that it may not be family-friendly practices alone that allow employees to better balance their work and family life but also the development of family-friendly work cultures.

What is the role of female managers in creating a family-friendly work culture? Do we see ourselves responsible for promoting such work environments? How do we articulate our attitude towards the promotion of a family-friendly work culture inside our organization?
The Institute of Labour Studies, ESADE Business School is carrying out a European wide survey on that important issue and would like to know your opinion.

All participants will be entered to win an Aveda-Wellness gift certificate worth 250 euros and will receive an executive summary of results. Click here to enter the survey!

June 12-15, 2007 ? Golf Course at Bad Waltersdorf Club in June

Where: Bad Waltersdorf

When: Hours Vary

Registration: Registration: Carol Phillips,carolinvienna@gmx.at

I have managed to arrange a special golf course at the Bad Waltersdorf Golf Club in the lovely "Thermenregion Steiermark". This course is special because a maximum of three players (or even a minimum of two!) get to enjoy the personal support of the golf club's pro who, because of the limited number of participants, is able to cover exactly those areas of your golf game which need attention! This course is for those who already have their "Turniererlaubnis", i.e. handicap -45, and who want to have the opportunity to improve their game with tuition tailored to meet their own individual needs. The course is extremely practical because, in addition to tuition on the driving range, the golf pro will actually play a round of golf with us on the Bad Waltersdorf course. A super opportunity!

The course is organised as follows:
Tuesday, 12.06. 09.00 - 12.00: Personal training
Wednesday, 13.06. 08.00 - 13.00: 18 hole round of golf (course management techniques) followed by personal discussion of the strengths and weakness of your game.
Thursday, 14.06. 09.00 - 12.00: Personal training incorporating those points raised by the previous day's round of golf.
Friday, 15.06. 08.00 start.

You have the chance to play a tournament (probably with just the members of the group) to improve your handicap score.This is a marvellous opportunity to play a tournament without having to play against tens of other unknown golfers, which is thus of course far more relaxed. The course costs EUR 349 (for non-members of Bad Waltersdorf). Bad Waltersdorf is also an ideal place if you chose to bring along your non-golf-playing partner with, for example, plenty of opportunity to relax at the "Therme" or go for walks in the beautiful countryside. Please let me know by latest Tuesday 5th June if you would like to join me on this course.

Best regards, Carol Phillips / carolinvienna@gmx.at
