As an internal consultant at American Express, Jhumur’s thoughts around achieving a balance of work and life crystallized as she led the development and analysis of a work-life survey based on Extreme Jobs Research conducted by Center for Work-Life Policy. Conducted across a couple of business units, the survey helped leaders measure extreme jobs and use the study findings as a lens to think about work-life balance within American Express.
