What do you do if your team is struggling with work-life balance?

Be a Leader, not a Manager! Who likes to be managed in any aspect of their life? Productivity, Collaboration, and Creative Solutions can only be achieved at a high level when you inspire your team. You do not need to hold on to all the power. Learn to delegate the work and empower your team to utilize their strengths to grow faster and succeed to heights never thought possible!

Struggling with work-life balance? At Team Skill Mantra, we prioritize a healthy equilibrium between work and personal life. If your team is finding it challenging to strike that balance, we advocate for open communication, flexible scheduling, time management training, and promoting employee well-being. Let's work together to ensure everyone thrives both professionally and personally.

Managers can help teams achieve work-life balance by talking to team members, setting expectations, being flexible, offering support, and leading by example. This improves productivity, creativity, and employee satisfaction.

Take time as a leader to really know your team. Know what is going on in their personal lives, what's happening with their families, are they healthy, are their kids thriving. Remember, employees are whole people who are dealing with things we may not know about that are impacting their ability to live a balanced life.

If your team is grappling with work-life balance, consider implementing flexible work arrangements tailored to their needs. Options like video calls, flexible hours, or compressed workweeks can alleviate stress and accommodate personal responsibilities. It's crucial to maintain clear, consistent, and fair policies to uphold service quality and safety standards while supporting your team's well-being. Regularly assess and adjust these arrangements to ensure they remain effective and sustainable for your team without compromising the quality of your facilities management services.

If your team is grappling with work-life balance, lead by example. Demonstrate your commitment to balance and share your strategies openly. Show empathy and offer flexibility and support to team members facing challenges. By setting a positive example and fostering an open, supportive environment, you can inspire your team to prioritise their well-being and adopt sustainable work-life balance practices.

One of the best strategies to cultivate better wellbeing for your employee’s is to help them feel heard. This means asking them what they need. Although they may not always know exactly what they need, they will share what they’re struggling with so you can understand what their individual hurdles look like. Using that as a blueprint for change is a two fold win - not only will you drive wellbeing but also employee engagement!
