Addressing the Gender Gap in Work-Life Balance: Insights from a Recent Discussion I had the privilege of speaking at the NLNG Women's Initiative Network (NWIN) event on "Work-Life Balance: A Male Perspective." Together, we delved into the unique challenges men face in achieving a healthy balance between work and personal life. Key takeaways from the session included: Understanding the unique challenges: Participants explored the specific obstacles men encounter in balancing work and personal responsibilities, such as societal expectations, internalized beliefs, and work culture. Identifying effective coping mechanisms: We discussed strategies for managing stress, building resilience, and prioritizing self-care. Advocating for organizational support: The importance of fostering a supportive workplace culture that values work-life balance for all employees was emphasized. The event was a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of the gender gap in work-life balance and to discuss practical solutions. I'm grateful to NLNG for hosting this important discussion, and I encourage organizations to prioritize initiatives that promote work-life balance for all employees. #worklifebalance #maleallies #NLNG #NWIN #worklifeintegration #mentalhealth #wellness #gendergap #workplaceculture

This Fortune article is a must-read for anyone striving to balance work and life. The author, a work-life balance expert, shares her struggle with the “doing it all” paradox so many of us face when it comes to our career and life outside of work. She points out how Gen X women were raised to do 2 things at once: 1️⃣ Operate according to traditional gender roles AND 2️⃣ Be independent, career-focused businesswomen I can identify with this viewpoint and have had my own struggles with maintaining a work-life balance. Here’s what I think it comes down to: ✅ Give yourself permission to be in control of your prioritizing. ✅ It's been a really good mental exercise for me because I'm giving myself permission to prioritize my career. Don’t get me wrong. I don't prioritize my career over everything. I prioritize my career during certain hours. And I am in control of what I'm prioritizing. It’s a conscious choice I’m making — to set a boundary and be okay with prioritizing something that’s really important to me, which gives me permission outside of those hours to focus on life outside of work.

A healthy person's work-life balance is a typical concept where work and personal life are intertwined without displacing one another. This is the ideal scenario. But what happens to this model when it is disrupted by war? In my new column for The CEO Magazine Global , based on our research with Iryna Rubis and Biasless.

Work-Life Balance: The Ongoing Challenge for Women As professionals, we all strive to achieve a healthy work-life balance - the ability to effectively manage the competing demands of our careers and our personal lives. However, for many women, this balance remains elusive, as they frequently shoulder a disproportionate share of domestic and caregiving responsibilities. Women have made tremendous strides in the workforce, occupying leadership roles and excelling in high-powered careers. Yet, societal expectations and gender norms still place a greater burden of household and family duties on women. The need to juggle professional obligations with child rearing, elder care, and other domestic tasks can create immense stress and pressure, leaving little time for self-care and personal pursuits. This imbalance can have far-reaching consequences, both for individual women and for organizations. When women are overextended, it can lead to burnout, decreased productivity, and difficulties advancing in their careers. Employers who fail to recognize and address these challenges risk losing valuable talent and may struggle to build truly diverse and inclusive workplaces. Addressing the work-life balance dilemma will require a multi-faceted approach, involving changes at both the societal and organizational levels. Employers must implement family-friendly policies, such as flexible work arrangements, generous parental leave, and on-site childcare, to better support their employees. At the same time, there needs to be a cultural shift that encourages men to take a more active role in domestic responsibilities, and normalizes the concept of shared parenting and household duties. Ultimately, achieving true work-life balance for women is not only a matter of individual well-being but also a critical step towards greater gender equality and the unlocking of untapped human potential. By recognizing and addressing these challenges, we can create a more equitable and supportive environment for women to thrive both professionally and personally.
