Interesting article about the evolving dynamics between employers and employees when it comes to achieving that delicate equilibrium between professional and personal life. #WorkLifeBalance #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerInsights

A good idea for inclusive business model would be to allow more part time workers. Its really tough for people who have other needs, commitments or just want a better work life balance to find roles in tech that offer reduced hours. It could either be done by the hours worked (Full time expected salary = 40 hrs and then reduce accordingly). Or have the salary relate to work completed so that productive workers who's output is really high can achieve a fair renumeration. If more companies did this I really think this would have a great knock on effect to businesses, the economy, and staff wellbeing. ⭐ More people would be able to work. Less unemployment. ⭐ There would be more work life balance and happier employees who stay long term. ⭐ Happier employers make more productive employees, less time off in burn out, mental health would improve. ⭐ It would allow parents to be more present in their children's lives (a situation which holds much guilt for working parents at the moment). This also benefits the next generation of workers. ⭐ It would benefit those who would love to study something on the side but cannot find the time with FTW and family commitments. What do you think? Could a world with more flexibility to work part time/reduced hours work? #foodforthought #reducedhours #parttimework #worklifebalance

As there is more knowledge today to absorb, workers who want to learn more must work harder than their predecessors. The idea that we're collectively overworking ourselves is gaining popularity, but perhaps demonising hard work isn't the solution 💼 Rather, we need to focus on more effective work management. It's true that there are instances of burnout and overwork, but the biggest concern might be people quitting. It's about finding a balance between work and personal life, dedication and burnout.

As we strive for success in our professional lives, we must remember the importance of our personal lives. The idea that "You are replaceable at work. You are not replaceable at home. Work is not your life" is a poignant reminder. Our roles in the workforce may be replaceable, but our roles in the lives of our loved ones are irreplaceable. As we grow older, this becomes increasingly true. Prioritizing work responsibilities over family can lead to skewed priorities. Let's remember to keep our focus on what truly matters. #worklifebalance #familyfirst

Returning to work after an absence can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. With some planning and a positive mindset, you can ease back into your routine smoothly.

Remember, it's all about setting yourself up for success and finding your rhythm again. https://lnkd.in/dEGxMKte #backtowork #successtips #worklifebalance #jobs #diversity #workplace #employeesupport #workplacewellness #jobseekers #opportunities #ukcareers
