ABSTRACT
A sizeable number of employees throughout Canada are continuing to telework following the COVID-19 pandemic. Cou-ples who telework may experience tension between their work and personal life. Telework may also have positive and negative impacts on work-life wellness depending on employee circumstances. For example, teleworking women with children may be expected to prioritize their home and family over their work. COVID-relat-ed restrictions have eased across Canada, which allow for increased freedom around home and work arrangements. It is plausible that a long-term shift towards allowing employees to work remotely full or part-time will occur, and with that, there will be associated changes in family dynamics as both part-ners adjust to this "new normal. " In response to the complex rela-tionship between teleworking and work-life wellness in the context of couples, the first author has pro-posed a study to research work-life wellness for teleworking couples, addressing the research question, "how do teleworking couples construct and cultivate work-life wellness together? ". It is anticipat-ed that this study will foster under-standing of work-life wellness in teleworking couples, and inform policies, counselling techniques, and future research.
