1 Assess Needs

Before approaching your employer, take time to clearly define what work-life balance means to you. Is it the need for flexible working hours, the ability to work remotely, or just having enough time off to recharge? Understanding your own requirements will help you communicate effectively and propose practical solutions that could be beneficial for both you and your employer. Remember, being clear about what you need is the first step towards making any change.

Cuando sientes que no hay equilibrio entre tu trabajo y tu vida personal, es fundamental que tengas claros los puntos que no permiten este equilibrio. ?La carga de trabajo es demasiado alta? ?No se respetan los horarios de trabajo? ?Te envían correos electrónicos a altas horas de la noche y esperan que los respondan? ?Los fines de semana te llaman y esperan que resuelvas cosas? Etcétera. Lo más importante aquí es que expreses con claridad que es lo que produce el desbalance. Después de evaluar tus necesidades, piensa cuáles alternativas puedes ofrecer para solucionar este problema. No lo dejes todo en manos de tu empleador. Busca soluciones en las que ambos puedan quedar satisfechos.

Your boss may not understand your work-life balance needs but it's important to respect them. If you feel minimized, devalued, unheard and unseen, that's hardly an environment to product creativity and productivity. See if you can communicate your needs in a way it may be more easily understood but if you disregard your needs, you'll be resentful and that'll eventually work against both you and your boss.

2 Open Dialogue

Once you know what you need, initiate a conversation with your employer. Choose a time when you're not rushed and can discuss your concerns without interruptions. Be honest about how the current work demands are affecting you, but also be prepared to listen. Your employer may not be aware of the impact on your well-being or may have assumptions that need to be addressed. A calm, reasoned discussion is more likely to lead to mutual understanding.

El éxito de comunicar un mensaje no está tan solo en el mensaje en sí mismo. Si no la manera y el momento en el que se transmite. Por tanto, aborda a tu superior para decirle que te gustaría tener una conversación sobre un tema importante para ti. De esta manera agenda un momento exclusivo para esta plática. Empieza con algo positivo. Y posteriormente, de forma tranquila, expresas, las inquietudes acerca de los puntos que descubriste son fuente de desbalance entre tu vida privada y laboral. Pregúntale a tu superior que piensa al respecto. Luego le dices que has pensado en posibles alternativas que podrían ayudar a disminuir el mismo. Planteas tus alternativas. Y ahora trata de llegar a un acuerdo con tu superior.

When you discuss your work-life balance concerns with your employer, it's beneficial to come prepared with potential solutions. This demonstrates that you're proactive and committed to finding a way to improve the situation that could also support the company's objectives. Whether it's a change in schedule, job-sharing options, or remote work possibilities, presenting well-thought-out options can make the conversation more constructive.

At one point, when I was new in my job, I found that my boss would call me early morning, when I was busy with my household. Initially I answered the call, though I didn't want to. Soon I realised that it was not a one-off and it was going to happen repeatedly. So I stopped answering it. I would walk up to them at work and say "I'm sorry, I missed your call, did you want to discuss something?" This happened a few times, and then the calls stopped. Lesson for me: Sometimes it makes for awkward relationships to have direct communication. But my actions were indirect communication, and they worked in a softer manner. I learnt how to land softer messages through polite actions. It is super empowering, yet kind and polite.

If your boss doesn't get your need for work-life balance, try communicating openly. Explain your needs clearly and propose flexible schedules or remote work options. Seek compromise and suggest periodic check-ins to ensure balance. If the situation persists, consider HR mediation or exploring new job opportunities. Prioritize your well-being.

4 Set Boundaries

It's essential to set and communicate your boundaries clearly. Let your employer know which hours you are available and when you are not, and stick to those times unless there's an emergency. This helps establish expectations and allows you to disconnect from work during your personal time. Remember, setting boundaries is not just about saying no; it's about creating a healthy work environment for yourself.

Después de hablar con tu superior y expresarles tus inquietudes. Es importante que dejes claro la importancia que tiene para ti tu salud física, emocional y psicológica. Y para mantenerla es importante que puedas tener espacios para tu autocuidado. De lo contrario, lo único que se puede esperar es que termines con un Burn Out, lo cual es mal negocio para ti y también para tu empleador. Por eso, establecer tus límites no es solo algo importante para ti, sino también para tu empleador. Tu superior no gana nada con empleado enfermo en casa. Más bien los gastos se duplican lo mismo que el trabajo para el resto del equipo.

Setting clear boundaries is important to creating a healthy work environment. In my experience we have to also be okay reinforcing those boundaries at times. Supervisors might not always remember your boundaries or the work hours you identified.

5 Seek Support

If the conversation with your employer doesn't lead to a satisfactory outcome, seek support from other channels within your organization. This could be your human resources department, a trusted mentor, or even a trade union representative if applicable. They may offer alternative solutions or mediate the situation. External support groups or professional networks can also provide advice and share strategies that have worked for others in similar situations.

6 Review Options

If all attempts to negotiate a better work-life balance with your current employer fail, it may be time to review your options. Consider whether the job is worth the stress and impact on your personal life. Sometimes, the best choice for your mental health and happiness is to look for opportunities elsewhere. This is a personal decision and should be made after careful consideration of all factors involved in your work and life.
