How can work-life balance increase employee loyalty?

When organizations prioritize and support employees in achieving equilibrium between professional and personal commitments, it cultivates a positive workplace culture. Employees who feel their well-being is valued are likelier to remain loyal to the company, as they experience reduced burnout and stress. A balanced lifestyle enhances job satisfaction, higher morale, and increased productivity. Employees are more likely to develop a sense of loyalty and commitment, leading to reduced turnover rates. This loyalty stems from a mutual understanding that the company values its employees not just as workers but as individuals with lives outside of the workplace, fostering a strong and enduring employer-employee relationship.

En mi opinión la lealtad nace cuando las personas se sienten valoradas, son escuchadas y se les deposita un grado de confianza en lo que hacen. Con esto me refiero ha que debe exitir una relación beneficiosa mutua en donde si bien la persona gana su espacio y entrega valor, la empresa debe compensar de vuelta ya que, si la persona no siente una retribución mas temprano que tarde, buscará otro lugar o ya no estará tan dispuesta a seguir dando el maximo en su trabajo.

A good work life balance shows that the company cares about its employees. When people can balance work and personal life, they feel happier and less stressed. This makes them more likely to stay with the company and work hard.

Who decides the "proper" work-life balance? Devil's advocate: Decreased work hours. Increased flexibility and boundaries. This could make us complacent. Less resilient. Constructive pressure builds our career development. Lean in to - not away from - that. We're all different: It boils down to what works for each of us. We've all got our history, skills, and priorities. We all have our own life. One size fits few. Life's not linear: Sometimes we're really busy, sometimes not. Ups and downs are part of the experience. Our approach to work should be the same. Go with the flow. Work-life balance. Compared to what? Compared to who?

Si buscamos que los equipos "se pongan la camiseta", se las tenemos que dar de su talle. La lealtad surge a partir de sentirnos escuchados y respetados. Muchas veces, no es necesario un beneficio caro o difícil de llevar a cabo, en detalles como comprender si una persona necesita un momento para ir (por ejemplo) a un acto escolar de su hijo o que no sienta cada día que no cumple con las expectativas por la presión desmedida y pueda disfrutar sus logros y aprendizaje. La lealtad de los equipos se consigue siendo leal con ellos y sus necesidades.

When anyone's grieving, they take that with them, wherever they go. They take all the feelings and reactions that go along with it, too! When they take that into the workplace, it becomes very difficult for productivity, focus, communication, and interactions and many more things, to be at an optimal level. Grief messes everything up and when we try to suppress it, it goes underground and that's when it can get very dangerous, because then, we try to act like everything is "Fine", when the reality and truth is far from that. When we're using so much energy suppressing something so big, how can we possibly be working at an optimal level?
