Family Wellbeing

HKFWS is committed to enhancing family wellbeing. The Society helps families to understand the status of their family wellbeing by conducting socially relevant and culturally appropriate research such as the Hong Kong Family Wellbeing Index. Based on their own research, we have created an online self-assessment tool covering six family domains that enable anyone to benchmark their own family wellbeing to further understand their own family situation. We also provide professional advice to enhance the family wellbeing of the general public.

Work-Life Balance

The nature of my work is relatively busy, and I often go home late. My husband and children asked me to resign and spend more time taking care of the family. However, I still love my job. How can I take care of both my family and my career?

If you want to take care of both your career and your family, I encourage you to go home early after work. You can eat with your family and to accompany them by playing games, telling stories, or just chatting as ways to enjoy your parent-child time. You can then spend 2 hours on work after your children go to bed. You must set boundaries for your work so that you can have enough rest for another day. Another factor to consider is that you will only have to accompany your children so much for a short period of time. They will have their own world after they enter middle school and will not need to be accompanied by adults often. I highly recommend you enjoy this parent-child time and to let your children feel your care so they can grow up surrounded by love.
