Our mission at Families and Work Institute is to anticipate emerging issues and conduct rigorous research that leads to action. We bring our Corporate Leadership Circle “research to live by” or as the First Gentleman of Michigan said of our website, “research and reality!”

FWI’s Corporate Leadership Circle keeps you in touch with the ideas and people who shape the present and future; who make things happen. Please join us for another exciting round of activities. Families and Work Institute (FWI)’s Corporate Leadership Circle (CLC) is a unique group of top-level national and global companies deeply interested in how to create an engaged and productive workforce and in research-based workforce trends. The Circle is composed of professionals in the areas of work life, human capital development, diversity, employee relations, women's leadership and networks, management training and business strategy.
