29News WVIR-TV on LinkedIn: #careergrowth (2024)

What if instead of few people working 70 hrs a week...double the workforce gave in 35 - 40 hours a week? Shouldn't industry leaders design work and hire people so more people are employed and with a good work life balance too? Is it unreasonable to assume that people with WLB are also productive and gainfully employed.My first Linkedin post expressing an opinion.

How do I keep my employees engaged? The age old question, and one that has become increasingly difficult to answer. More than ever before, employees are being pulled in multiple directions and work life balance has become a top priority. If you don’t prioritize this as an employer, you could find yourself at a loss.#FamilyBenefits #EmployeeBenefits #BenefitsAdministration

It is clear that Work Life balance is the priority for modern workforce. We have seen a lot of companies have taken initiatives to support that in recent years. “People over profit” is very important for a sustainable business.I personally noticed, working with the younger workforce is awesome. They are smart, they understand the priorities and get Sh*t done but also great at balancing work and life.

Should we all go to a 4 day week?! This debate has been going on for a while but I do believe productivity would increase so much more if we add 1 more hour a day from Mon-Thur and have Friday off.A lot of companies give Fridays as half day, question is can we just take Fridays off by adding 4 more hours Mon-Fri. This does technically deal with any fears of less hours less more pay etc etc even though I don’t think thats actually measurable. Work life balance is also amazing which helps retention with employees. Something which a lot of companies are struggling with. If you can keep your employees happy then the likelyhood of them working harder and still getting the work done goes up a lot.So does productivity take a hit? Many studies have suggested otherwise! So there may be a very real potential! Maybe your managers/directors need to send this to get them thinking👀

I'm often inviting clients (and myself!) to reframe the stories we tell ourselves because words have so much power over what we experience internally and externally. Even shifting a word or two can make a huge difference! We can practice phrases like these and really make the magic happen when we pair the feelings that statements like these elicit (calm, confident, capable for example) with the statement. What statements from this post would you choose to practice to invite more possibility into your work life?

As a manager, it’s important to remember that your employees are human before anything else. Awareness, empathy, and open communication are little gestures that go a long way. The majority of the workforce want the simple things - a good work life balance, good compensation, and someone who values them as an employee AND a person.

Couldn’t agree more Michael Smith. For some, unfortunately, this is lost and they get paralyzed especially on the communication piece. Paralysis by analysis aka over thinking it.Leadership is an intrinsic quality and discipline that needs to be practiced. Not quite a use it or lose it thing but…you and others get the idea.#leadership #management #leadershipexcellence #leadershipdevelopment #leadershipmindset #leadershiplessons #people #peoplefirst #peoplematter

🌟 Embracing Work-Life Balance: The Power of Taking Time Off for Your Well-being! ⚖️Last week, I wasn't feeling well, and it was such a relief to know I could take a day off when I needed it. It made me realize the importance of work-life balance.Taking time off to recharge and prioritize your well-being is crucial. Whether you're starting your career journey or exploring different paths, remember that self-care matters. Do your best to find opportunities to balance work and personal life, ensuring you have the energy and focus to thrive.If you are a business owner or manager, make sure you are giving your team the support they need to take time off. This means encouraging PTO use and making sure that your team can take time off without being contacted by the office. #WorkLifeIntegration #WellbeingMatters #WorkLifeBalance #SelfCare #PTO #PersonalGrowth #CompanyCulture

As a 30-year contractor, I have been amused by frequent mentions of "work life balance" since changing industries. We had our own version of this. Two-month or greater work trips, sometimes visiting multiple customer sites without going home. 72 hour work weeks were normal, 80 or 90 a little less so. I can recall one hellish 20-hour day. But, at the end of "outage season", I was home, able to drive my kids to school, take in every ball game and practice, then off to Sea World San Antonio or Universal Studios Florida. Now eight hours can still seem a little like a vacation. Create at least some of your own balance. Gain a little perspective on what extreme imbalance really is. #worklifebalance
