The Work-Life Balance

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses that a company can attain and maintain a high productivity level by ensuring their employees maintain a healthy work-life balance. The author points out that separating one's personal life from one's professional life has been the mantra of generations, but as the family has changed over the decades, this often has become unrealistic. The paper states that flexible work schedules, extended maternity leave, time management training, wellness programs, and telecommuting options may at first seem like more headache than they are worth, and yet, the happier, more motivated employees these types of policies produce more than pay for themselves.

From the Paper:

"The benefits of work-life balance policies are numerous. Happier employees are more productive and more loyal. More productivity adds to a healthier bottom line. These policies can lead a company to attract and retain the best candidates for their open positions, increasing productivity even further. In general, work-life balance can help a company be more competitive in an increasingly competitive marketplace."
