What do you do if your employer or clients don't understand your work-life balance priorities?

In my view, clear communication about setting boundaries is crucial for productivity. Honesty about personal and professional desires, identifying non-negotiables, and establishing boundaries facilitate confident conversations. Prioritizing self-care and balance promotes holistic success. Continuous learning and supportive relationships contribute to growth and resilience.

If your boss or clients don't get why you need a balance between work and life, talk to them simply. Tell them it helps you do better at work and stay happy. If they still don't get it, think about talking to HR or someone who can help.

In my perspective, I will reach out to People Bussiness partner and lets make understand the situation. After that still company not want to understand, Then i will move on from employer for better work life balance because family matters a lot. And It is the responsiblilty of employee to not neogociate on work-life balance than companies will do understand.

???????? ofcourse as the first thing Why are you doing any business? Or job Simple - for family n family future So, if you are not able to live quality time with your family Then nothing works well

First step, be clear on what is most important to you. Clearly spell this out for yourself. What are those things you can not compromise on (the top tier), what are the things you are willing to make some adjustments to (the second tier) and what are the things that you are okay with compromising on (the third tier). Once you're clear on this, you can identify how you can accomplish your work goals, while staying true to your own priorities. Working within this framework will help alleviate stress and help you be present in all aspects of your life.

Communication is key. If there is an expected work-life balance, how do you communicate it as a win-win. Are you completing your work on time? Are you ensuring your boss recognizes this? Think about ways to communicate effectively. Create an opportunity for an easy conversation, Be part of the solution when you share, not the reason for the problem. Most leaders understand work life balance. Most will not accept under performing. Be positive and keep moving forward. Good Luck

Oh! This is an alert!!! This is something I have been facing from Day 1.0. It’s fine, and it’a not fine. Look, communication is KEY! And setting Boundaries is Key! Client always think your life is related only and only to the work, and you do not have a personal life. Be it a morning time, daytime, or evening time, they want you to be present and respond them in seconds. While the clients base is small, it is somehow possible to do this. But once it get’s bigger, the stress is inevitable. So, I suggest to communicate clearly the working hours and stick to them. Usually, after 8PM I mute all my work chats. This helps (sometimes ????).

This is the hard part: initiating an uncomfortable conversation without coming off as demanding. Remember to discuss that setting boundaries and accommodating your needs will enhance and increase your contributions at work not dimish them. There's an old saying that says, "Take care of your people and they'll take care of the job." This is the premise through which I've managed and if an employee's request is reasonable without impacting the work, then it should be considered thoughtfully.

Has hecho una autoevaluación, has reconocido tus prioridades y tienes claros tus límites, pero si no los trasladas a los demás y los comunicas no sirve de nada. Todo podría quedar en tu pensamiento y conducirte a sensaciones de frustración y desmotivación.

Los límites comienzan con uno. Son de carácter individual, pero deben comunicarse a los demás. A veces, ante la presión del jefe por entregar un reporte o terminar un proyecto retrasado, cada persona decide reaccionar de forma distinta, algunos son capaces de renegociar tiempos, otros reaccionan con estrés por la carga de trabajo, y surge el burnout por no saber decir no, por la falta de negociación y de comunicación asertiva. Cada persona debe definir que está dispuesto a dar bajo circunstancias imprevistas pero siguiendo sus límites personales. Cuando todo es urgente, nada lo es, y se vuelve parte de la cultura la falta de planificación, el trabajar fuera de los horarios y no respetar el balance de vida y trabajo que se ha prometido.

Once you've come to an agreement with your employer or manager on boundaries, make sure you clearly communicate those who need to know. Then stick with them -- turn your phone off and don't respond to emails during your off time. If you don't respect your self-imposed boundaries, no one else will.

Establish boundaries around your work hours, availability, and expectations. Clearly communicate these boundaries to your employer or clients and consistently uphold them. For example, let them know when you will be unavailable outside of regular working hours and stick to those boundaries.

La flexibilidad y la capacidad de diáologo son características de un buen profesional. Si bien deben quedar claros los compromisos y los límites pactados, es bueno contar con un margen de cortesía o formas de compensación alternativas en casos que sean excepcionales o necesarios.

Muchas veces no se le da importancia a esto. Buscar el apoyo y el asesoramiento profesional de expertos puede ser la solución a conflictos que crean inestabilidad, frustración y problemas de difícil solución. Es menos costoso de lo que parece y puede evitar situaciones irreparables al implementar soluciones efectivas. Dicen que 4 ojos ven más que 2. Obvio.

Always be honest with yourself and understand that your personal choices may affect your career trajectory. And, seek out a coach or mentor who can guide you in making work-life balance decisions.

First of all it’s important to have that clarity in your head what does balance mean to you as each individual has different views about it. Then it’s important to be assertive and polite while communicating the same to others who may seem to have disrupted that balance.
