Notes

This article was invited by the Issue Forum Editors.

1. Since 2000 I have personally moved from “work–family” (too exclusionary) to “work–life” (is work not part of life?) to trying “personal–professional life” (Kirby, in press), to, for the purposes of this forum, using working/institutional and personal/family life in keeping with the editors’ vision.

2. While “health” can be defined as social, spiritual, psychological, and/or physical (Farrell & Geist-Martin, 2005), in these programs it is most often defined as physical and mental health (Farrell & Geist-Martin, 2005; Zoller, 2003).

3. Six days before the event, managers were told they could not be mandated to climb.
