This report, which was featured in the February edition of ICAS Radio , explores how participating in the accountancy profession has impacted upon the reality of the lives and work choices of female members of ICAS. With work-life balance issues being closely related to wellbeing initiatives and the aim of attracting and keeping a healthy, happy and productive workforce, work-life balance is an important consideration for employers as well as employees. In a profession often characterised by long hours, achieving a work-life balance has always been an issue. But what does work-life balance actually mean and how do we achieve this? This research project investigates the views of female members of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) to explore: the conceptions of worklife balance; the solutions proposed to help women achieve work-life balance; the impediments to work-life balance; and the choices made by women. The report concludes with implications for female members, employers and professional bodies to consider.
