Presentation: Work-Life Balance 2.0: Learning to Create More Balance to Get Better Results
Description:
Let’s be honest — it can be difficult to get excited about work-life balance training!
Yes, most of us know that we need it, but it can often miss the mark in allowing us to truly understand why it is such a challenge to find ‘balance’. In addition, and probably more importantly, there is often a lack of actionable takeaways, leaving the question, “What can I do to get better” – unanswered.
A further barrier is that the term “balance” can create the impression that work, and life are at odds with each other. This can lead to unnecessary pressure and stress, as people may feel like they’re failing if they can’t achieve a perfect balance.
This session – Work-Life Balance 2.0, delivers a fresh perspective on this vitally important subject and provides a mindset and skillset that better aligns in today’s fast-moving workplace, a workplace that can include a combination of onsite, virtual, flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
Technology has been the primary driver that has blurred the lines between our “work life” and our “home life”. In a global economy, someone, somewhere is always working.
Work-life balance is not so much about YOU — it’s about OTHERS, and how our lack of balance can adversely impact organizational results, our relationships with colleagues and ultimately the customer. We owe it to others to ensure we’re energized, present and fully engaged — an inside out approach.
Talented individuals don’t want to work for or with people who lack balance. There’s a war for talent and top organizations understand it’s imperative to create policies, procedures and best practices to build a culture and reputation of being a great place to work. This program helps achieve this new mindset and skillset.
