Gone are the days when employers would scorn at the concept of ‘work-life balance’. However, experts point out that there are several employees, despite innovative efforts made by organizations, who find the task of striking a chord between work and personal commitments quite excruciating. ‘Work-life’ balance remains the buzzword in the corporate parlance and it is a well-acknowledged fact that having a good work-life balance is essential for the well-being of an organization and its employees as it is crucial for employee engagement and productivity. But with the advancement of technology and changing workplace dynamics, the line between one’s work and personal life is narrowing rapidly, thus making the struggle between striking the right chord between office duties and familial commitments a day-to-day affair for many people.
Sanjay Muthal, MD, Nugrid Consulting Pvt. Ltd suggests a few tips that you can adopt to ensure a good work-life balance: 1) time management: start on time and leave on time and do not carry work home; this trend is slowly turning out to be the norm among professionals these days. Find support from someone (a cook, good daycare facility, housekeeping service, a driver, etc) who can run errands for you, particularly women, 2) eat well: do not skip meals; good food and sound sleep are important as they give you the much needed energy to shoulder various responsibilities and 3) take short breaks: when needed, take a break from work; you could opt for a short vacation or even spend quality time with your friends/family. However, time it well so that it does not stress you, when you return.
