About
There are many things that contribute to the quality of our worklife at Goddard Space Flight Center. Beyond the valuable
work that we do, there are programs, activities and other
amenities that help us balance our work and personal lives,
develop our careers, and generally enhance our work experience.
The Quality of Worklife (QWL) initiative was launched to foster
such amenities and to assure that all employees are aware of all
the special things that Goddard has to offer.
News and Announcements
The Quality of Worklife (QWL) Expo is scheduled for May 11
from 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. For more information, contact
