🌟 Supporting Work-Life Balance: A Step Towards Empowering Women 🌟 Work-life balance isn’t just a personal goal—it’s a professional necessity. For many women, balancing careers with family, caregiving, and personal ambitions can feel like a tightrope walk. As organizations, we must ask ourselves: 👉 Are we creating an environment where women can excel without burning out? 👉 Are we normalizing flexible work arrangements, parental leave, and mental health support? 👉 Are we actively challenging the notion that success comes at the cost of well-being? Supporting work-life balance means understanding that happy, healthy employees are productive employees. It’s time we: ✔️ Embrace flexibility in work schedules. ✔️ Offer mentorship and guidance for career growth. ✔️ Celebrate achievements beyond the workplace. A balanced life isn’t a luxury—it’s a foundation for sustainable success. Let’s pledge to build work cultures where women (and everyone!) can thrive both personally and professionally.

Work-Life Balance: Rethinking the Emphasis The topic of work-life balance is often overly emphasized, especially concerning working women. Every time I encounter a conference session on this topic, I find myself questioning: have we not moved on? Even after a decade, we’re still discussing it. To all the women striving for perfection, let me share a reality check: a perfect work-life balance is a myth. It's an ideal so ingrained in our minds that we constantly seek an impossible equilibrium. There are days when you have to prioritize that critical meeting over a family birthday dinner. There are days when family comes first, and deadlines are missed. There are days when a long-awaited coffee with a friend is the priority. There are days when late-night projects mean missing a child's goodbye before school. Every day presents a new set of priorities. In the quest for work-life balance, one aspect often takes precedence over the other, and that's perfectly okay. Let’s focus our energy on today’s priorities and move beyond this long-overdue conversation. #worklofebalance #workingwomen #myth #prioritiessetstraight

This post by #simonsinek made me reflect deeply on what psychological safety really means in all spaces. Especially for working women, work is sometimes a much needed break away from home: to feel valued, build their identity, find economic stability and a sense of community. Work life balance is not just about balancing time, but actually about #psychologicalsafety - to be a whole human being, to voice ideas, contribute with gusto, get fair feedback and be understood by their managers and organizations. #wholebeingwellbeing #peoplephilosophy #organizationdevelopment #feministleadership

Work-life balance means different things to different people. Hear from Alex Crass (She/Her), Marketing Director at Randstad UK&I, as she redefines what work-life balance means to her. She says, “As an independent parent –  work-life balance can be tough. It’s important to talk about our challenges and be kind to ourselves during this journey. When we consider 'balance' let's also recognise the quality of life, choices and opportunities our hard work facilitates for our family.” What does work-life balance mean to you?

Making It Work: Flexibility and Balance Between meetings, deadlines, personal goals, and family responsibilities and somewhere in there, you’re supposed to find time for yourself. Sound familiar? We’ve seen the shift from work life balance to work life integration. Whatever strategy you choose to adopt there are keys to making it work: 📍Clarify - Be clear about what you want. Life is in phases, there is something that works for each phase. Find it and seek the support you need. 📍Communicate - Let your team or clients know your rhythm so you’re not always on call. Women are rewriting the rules of work. We’re showing that we can lead a team, hit our goals, and still show up for the people and things you love. Is it perfect? Nope. But it’s progress. So, to every woman making it happen: give yourself credit and remember, practice self care. With every effort, you are showing that balance is doing what matters most. As you take simple steps one day at a time, you inspire others to find their flow. #womeninTech #flexibility #worklifebalance #linkedincommunity

Mommy Myth: How companies are helping mothers to champion work-life balance!

𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠-𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚? The term "work-life balance" gained prominence in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, driven by the Women's Liberation Movement advocating for flexible schedules and maternity leave to address women's dual work and home responsibilities. The concept of work-life balance has deeper historical roots. In the early 19th century, Welsh reformer Robert Owen advocated for an eight-hour workday with his slogan: "eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest," pioneering the idea of balanced time distribution. Lillian Moller Gilbreth, an early 20th-century industrial psychologist and engineer, significantly contributed to the foundation of work-life balance by emphasizing workers' well-being in industrial management. Although these early efforts laid the groundwork, the specific phrase "work-life balance" was coined in 1986, reflecting a growing awareness of balancing professional and personal responsibilities.
