Our schedules are getting busier than ever before, which often causes our work or our personal lives to suffer. Work-life balance involves juggling workplace stress with the daily pressures of family, friends, and self. Modern employees demand greater control over their lives and a bigger say in the structure of their jobs. According to a recent Business Information Review publication, “The search for work-life balance is a process in which people seek to change things in accordance with changes in their own priorities, physical, psychological or both, and these can be triggered in their turn by factors such as: age; changes in working conditions; the demands of new technology; and poor management.” Why Work-Life Balance is Important When employees feel a greater sense of control and ownership over their own lives, they tend to have better relationships with management and are able to leave work issues at work and home issues at home. Balanced employees tend to feel more motivated and less stressed out at work, which thereby increases company productivity and reduces the number of conflicts among coworkers and management. Companies who gain a reputation for encouraging work-life balance have become very attractive to workers and will draw a valuable pool of candidates for new job openings. These companies also tend to enjoy higher employee retention rates, which results in less time-consuming training, more loyalty, and a higher degree of in-house expertise. Studies have shown that employees who have a positive work-life balance do a better job at work, so promoting this balance is beneficial to individuals and the company. This is a practical guide for employers who want to promote a healthy work-life balance for their teams.</description><category domain="https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/tags/culture">culture</category><category domain="https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/tags/discussion">discussion</category><category domain="https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/tags/worklife">worklife</category></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: For a lot of people, the pursuit of a healthy work/life balance seems like an impossible goal.</title><link>https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/f/culture-worklife/3/for-a-lot-of-people-the-pursuit-of-a-healthy-work-life-balance-seems-like-an-impossible-goal/17</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Aug 2021 15:29:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">52e00e81-b49d-46b8-af14-54a693bf33e6:5c3748b3-153f-4b1d-b959-aef140905f09</guid><dc:creator>Yuan Chao</dc:creator><description>Maddison Birch agreed!</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: For a lot of people, the pursuit of a healthy work/life balance seems like an impossible goal.</title><link>https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/f/culture-worklife/3/for-a-lot-of-people-the-pursuit-of-a-healthy-work-life-balance-seems-like-an-impossible-goal/16</link><pubDate>Mon, 09 Aug 2021 15:21:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">52e00e81-b49d-46b8-af14-54a693bf33e6:4a43e335-6b4f-4edb-beb9-49ab97c119ae</guid><dc:creator>Maddison Birch</dc:creator><description>thank you!

The Families and Work Institute’s 2014 National Study of Employers finds that, compared to six years ago when it conducted the same survey, several numbers have moved in the right direction: Employers have continued to increase their provision of options that allow at least some employees to better manage the times and places in which they work. These include occasional flex place (from 50% to 67%); control over breaks (from 84% to 92%); control over overtime hours (from 27% to 45%) and time off during the workday when important needs arise (from 73% to 82%). So why doesn’t it feel like we’ve made that much progress? Because, unfortunately, policies aren’t worth much in the absence of supporting culture . Research shows that an organization’s work-life culture – all the unwritten yet well understood norms and expectations about how people are supposed to work, and what it means to be a good employee – has enormous power over behavior. Culture is what really defines how much latitude people have in terms of managing their work and non-work demands, whether or not there’s a flextime policy on the books. For a striking example, think back a year to the sad story of Moritz Erhardt. He was the 21-year-old investment banking intern who died in London, August 15, 2013, after having worked 72 hours straight at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. (To be clear, the coroner testified that Erhardt suffered an epileptic seizure, and while exhaustion from the 72-hour work marathon might have triggered it, she could not conclude whether this was so.) When the news broke, a director at the bank commented: “We are used to working with people who are ambitious and want to over-perform.” Fellow employees were more candid about the expectations they faced at work, where it was not uncommon to stay till 3 or 4 am. “If you go home at 11 pm, it is said you are ‘giving up’,” said one. “You have no hope of a job offer.” Investment banking industry: this is your culture speaking. There is no question that Bank of America Merrill Lynch had work-life policies in place. There is also no question that having those policies didn’t change the reality of the organization How, then, can business leaders start cultivating a healthier work-life culture? The levers at hand are communications and, more important, personal modeling – both by executives at the top and in the management ranks. For instance, SurveyMonkey CEO Dave Goldberg, husband of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, believes that creating a company culture that encourages people to lead full lives is key to his edge in hiring key leaders and retaining top talent. He proves this point by leaving his office every day at 5:30 p.m. Sabrina Parsons, CEO of Palo Alto Software, makes sure employees know they can bring their children to work any time they need to. The director of a French electric utility I’ve worked with uses the top 40 managers in his organization as a key work-life pilot group, making sure that they use the work-life policies the company makes available and meet regularly to discuss how they can better support work-life integration. But as easy and inspiring as it is to cite such examples, it’s surprisingly hard to shift the culture of an existing organization. It takes a high level of consistency in communications, rewards, and executive behaviors over time. To drive all of these in the same, positive direction, I’d suggest you need a work-life vision . Having a work-life vision means being able to offer an overarching point of view that is compelling to people and provides guidance to their daily behaviors, decisions, and practices. Here’s a work-life vision that might serve you well: The best managers in our organization are the ones who best manage the energy of their teams. Energy is something we can all recognize as a precious resource, which is only valuable in use, yet must not be over-exploited and should not be wasted. In an organization, energy is the essential “human resource” to be channeled – every bit as important as financial resources to success, and often more so.</description><category domain="https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/tags/culture">culture</category><category domain="https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/tags/discussion">discussion</category><category domain="https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/tags/worklife">worklife</category></item><item><title>File: Ageing and health</title><link>https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/m/pandemic-resources/7</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Aug 2021 17:46:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">52e00e81-b49d-46b8-af14-54a693bf33e6:d81a1c35-5c64-417d-bc43-6c6f21900434</guid><dc:creator>sara collins</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>File: COVID-19 Global Research &amp; Innovation</title><link>https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/m/pandemic-resources/6</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Aug 2021 17:46:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">52e00e81-b49d-46b8-af14-54a693bf33e6:4a499f82-32c9-4531-a659-4628020d19d7</guid><dc:creator>sara collins</dc:creator><description /></item><item><title>Files: Pandemic Resources</title><link>https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/m/pandemic-resources</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Aug 2021 17:45:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">52e00e81-b49d-46b8-af14-54a693bf33e6:98308c1c-5552-4602-847f-6015d1d457fc</guid><dc:creator /><description /></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: How quickly could COVID-19 vaccines stop the pandemic?</title><link>https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/f/pandemic-planning/20/how-quickly-could-covid-19-vaccines-stop-the-pandemic/9</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Aug 2021 17:40:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">52e00e81-b49d-46b8-af14-54a693bf33e6:98e99d3b-741f-45d5-ac0d-0fbd8e679d22</guid><dc:creator>Maddison Birch</dc:creator><description>The impact of COVID-19 vaccines on the pandemic will depend on several factors. These include the effectiveness of the vaccines; how quickly they are approved, manufactured, and delivered; the possible development of other variants and how many people get vaccinated Whilst trials have shown several COVID-19 vaccines to have high levels of efficacy, like all other vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines will not be 100% effective. WHO is working to help ensure that approved vaccines are as effective as possible, so they can have the greatest impact on the pandemic.</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: I know there is a risk of getting COVID-19, but can I still play sports?</title><link>https://verint12-demo02.socialedgeconsulting.io/discussions/f/pandemic-planning/21/i-know-there-is-a-risk-of-getting-covid-19-but-can-i-still-play-sports/8</link><pubDate>Sat, 07 Aug 2021 17:39:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">52e00e81-b49d-46b8-af14-54a693bf33e6:879641de-d79c-4771-9dc5-1de59426652d</guid><dc:creator>Maddison Birch</dc:creator><description>Yes. You can play sports that are in line with the physical distancing measures and movement restrictions that are in place in your country. If you are able to go for a bicycle ride, or if you go to a park or public open space to walk, run or exercise always practice physical distancing and wash your hands with water and soap before you leave, when you get to where you are going, and as soon as you get home. If water and soap are not immediately available, use alcohol-based hand rub. Being physically active is good for your health, both physical and mental. Set up a regular routine to practice activities or sports that do not require close contact with others every day for 1 hour. You can do individual sports, like jogging, walking, dancing or yoga. There are many options to try. You can set up playground games indoors, such as jump rope and hop-scotch, play with your brothers and sisters, and practice some strength training activities, using improvised weights like bottles full of water or sand. If you have access to the internet, you can also join in online active games or fitness classes, or set up your own online physical exercises with your friends or classmates. Find an activity that is fun, can be done within the restrictions that are in place in your country, and makes you feel good. Do not exercise if you have a fever, cough and difficulty breathing. Stay home and rest, seek medical attention and follow the directions of your local health authority.</description></item></channel></rss>
