WHAT IS THE PROPER UNDERSTANDING
ABOUT WORK-LIFE BALANCE?

14.
“I‟m the CEO of two organizations … work-life
balance is something I grapple with all the
time. For me, it‟s how I create space and time
for myself and for the people I care about it in
my life.
Natalie Madeira Cofield,
CEO of Greater Austin Black
Chamber of Commerce and the
founder of Walker’s Legacy

15.
“I really don‟t like that word „balance.‟ It really makes
everything sound like it‟s either right or wrong, black or
white, I recommend people to consider „work-life design‟
because it gives you a healthier perspective.”
Ari Horie, founder and CEO
of Women’s Startup Lab

NICK TARANTO, COFOUNDER OF PLATED.COM
“You can only cut so many pieces from
the pie. Work-life balance means making
decisions around where, who, and what
you‟re going to sacrifice, because you
can‟t do it all,”

17.
Work-Life Balance does not mean an equal balance. Trying to schedule an
equal number of hours for each of your various work and personal activities is
usually unrewarding and unrealistic.
Your best individual work-life balance will vary over time, often on a daily basis.
The right balance for you today will probably be different for you tomorrow. The
right balance for you when you are single will be different when you marry, or if
you have children.
There is no perfect, one-size fits all, balance you should be striving for. The
best work-life balance is different for each of us because we all have different
priorities and different lives.

HOW TO OVERCOME the big CHALENGES AT WORK:
WOKRLOAD AND role conflict

19.
Work life balance test

20.
Scoring: Give yourself 1 point for each “true” response.
 0-2: Your life is in pretty good balance; just be sure to do what you can to
guard that balance.
 3-5: Your work/life balance is teetering on the edge; now is the time to
make changes before the problems overwhelm you.
 5+: Your life is out of balance; you need to take immediate action to make
changes in your work and your life before things start crashing around you.

21.
Workload can relate to the quantity of the work or the
quality of activity to be completed.
Role conflict: How a person behaves in a given job
depends on many factors. A combination of the
expectations and demands an employee places upon him
or herself and those of co-workers results in a set of
forces called role pressures.

Case study 1:
The employer:
An international insurance company implement a major culture change program
that was being instigated in conjunction with the relocation of their HQ.
The issue:
The new location is a considerable distance from the then current inner city venue.
A work-life balance consulting firm was hired to solve issues arisen from the
transition. The firm assessed that some staff faced increased travel times to work
whilst others had challenges with their child and eldercare responsibilities.

Case study 2:
The employer
An established financial services organization was experiencing significant growth,
having recently acquired a number of smaller companies. The company had a
reputation within the industry for demanding a heavy commitment from its
employees.
The issue
Senior management was concerned about stress levels within the organization,
especially among those who were involved in meeting sales targets. Employee
morale was low and staff turnover increasing. Sales performance had traditionally
been good, but achieved at a high personal cost in terms of stress and hours
worked. A stress analysis revealed stress problems derived from three key areas:
the nature of the role itself, poor internal relationships, and a lack of career
development opportunities within the company. Vitally, this was frustrated by an
absence of stress coping strategies.
