Work life balance, can your company help you?
We read a great article this week on how getting a great work life balance is important for parents. It rang true on a lot of levels for us and some of the techniques the author suggests applies to everyone not just parents. You can read the full article here
The author makes a great point ‘The truth is, you’ll never be able to find a perfect work-life balance, one will always spill over into the other, that’s life, again, it’s about learning how to blend the two properly.’
Companies need to help
The author suggests that. ‘Companies, and managers specifically, need to act as role models, and understand that employees will model their behaviour according to what they see. Humans are very adaptable, and whether we like it or not, we learn to adapt to our surroundings. So if we see everyone staying late at the office, we might be hesitant to leave.’
Trying to get the balance right can be influenced with among other things great time management
