El Mes Nacional del Trabajo y la Familia se celebra cada mes de octubre para fomentar culturas saludables en el lugar de trabajo con un equilibrio entre la vida personal, el trabajo y la familia.
Apreciando el equilibrio entre el trabajo y la vida familiar
Working Families, one of 10 Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) at SRP, provides employees with resources and networking opportunities that help foster peace of mind about work-life balance. One of our employees, Lacey J., Senior Water Rights and Contracts Analyst, was inspired to join Working Families after attending the Bring Your Kids to Work Day event hosted by the ERG. With 300 employees bringing over 500 kids to Bring Your Kids to Work Day, the successful event gave children a glimpse of what it’s like to work at SRP.
“The entire reason I came to work at SRP was for a work-life balance, and this ERG is exactly what I wanted to be a part of and support,” said Lacey.
Emprendiendo un nuevo camino con SRP
Lacey was born and raised in Arizona, where she’s currently raising her two children. She understands the difficulties that can come with supporting a family while getting an education and fostering a career. While working as a water resource manager for a local municipality and finishing her degree at night, Lacey realized that a work-life balance was not attainable. She felt it was time to take a second look at her career path.
In 2021, when a water resource analyst position opened up at SRP, Lacey knew it was an opportunity she wanted to pursue.
“Había trabajado estrechamente con muchos empleados increíbles de SRP a lo largo de mi carrera trabajando con las ciudades, y todos siempre hablaban maravillas del equilibrio entre la vida laboral y familiar y de la cultura positiva que brinda SRP.”

As an SRP employee, she has the flexibility to attend her children’s school events, help them with homework and prepare them for tryouts while balancing a meaningful career. Lacey said, “I have been with SRP for a little over three years now, and it was the greatest career decision I have made for my family. The ‘mom guilt’ has finally subsided, and my family life is happier and stronger than ever.”
