Family

The State of Michigan employs more than 47,000 employees who work various schedules in a multitude of settings. We understand that employees can have busy lives and irregular work schedules, and sometimes finding balance between work and home demands can be a challenge. The Employee Service Program is committed to supporting families and parents with resources and tools to increase wellness in both the home and work place.

By creating a plan and routine that balances work and home expectations, you can increase the overall quality of your life. Below are resources and articles with topics ranging from parenting tips to tools, and other resources intended to help support you in this process.
