Helping you balance your
Work and your
Life

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 of life to our employees.
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 the Work Life staff
with an entire network of providers.
