The Time is Ripe Together, Building for the Right Balance

The modern workforce thrives on a work-life balance.

It’s important to set boundaries and manage a healthy balance between the personal and the professional life. Achieving a reasonable balance between work obligations and personal matters, one that is sustainable and productive is crucial in order to avoid burnout and develop a greater sense of well-being.

?A fruitful work day is what every employee looks forward to. Having reduced stress levels, being mindful, and centered are key elements to building more productive habits and navigating through a tough day at work. This is the ultimate result from finding this nice balance.

Top employers always come up with new ways and innovative practices to enhance their employee experience and encourage an overall positive and motivated workforce.

Balance is key

The Coronavirus pandemic has brought a lot of disruption and change to everyone’s life, but it also taught everyone valuable lessons about the importance of tuning in with ourselves and taking time to prioritize our personal wellbeing. Consequently, the time is ripe for thinking about our own welfare and nudging people’s behavior in to the right direction.

People should strive for a realistic work schedule, one that can be characterized as both constructive and considerate. Effective work strategies can be set in motion and daily work objectives can be met, while also setting some time aside to unplug and spend quality time with our loved ones. A work schedule should not drain anyone’s energy, it should instead leave you feeling fulfilled and energized for taking on other challenges or personal obligations.

Developing an autonomous sense of motivation and inquisitiveness can improve professional performance and personal development; it also has positive associations with self-efficacy, adaptability, and social engagement.

Adapting to new work norms

After the pandemic, the emergence of flexible working hours or a hybrid work culture has become more common and generally more acceptable among several organizations. For many employees, this is considered a great way to establish a work life balance and gain control of their daily schedule.

According to a recent study conducted by McKinsey & Company, a flexible work arrangement is not seen as just a temporary pandemic response anymore but as a lasting constituent of the modern working world. It is ranked the top third motivator for finding a new job.

Evidently, another study done by Statista company stated that 72% of people searching for a job believe that work-life balance is an important factor to consider.?Creating new working norms that acknowledge employee satisfaction and wellbeing will definitely boost the employees’ experience.

Flexible working hours have also been identified as family-friendly work arrangements that enable employees to skip the hours spent on the commute, handle their professional and personal pursuits, and be in control of their various responsibilities.?
