However, work-life balance is very crucial in enhancing work-life quality and productivity, and staff turnover. This can only be complemented by firms having polices and practices that address employee personal and career development needs.
First, telecommuting for attending meetings via computers or video conferencing and flextime that enables workers look after their sick children while carrying out their work tasks efficiently. This attains their independence and reduce stress level to the barest minimum. Making sure that employees take regular breaks, and encouraging their use of their vacation time reduces fatigue and increases concentration rates.
Organizations can be able to provide resources that assist employees’ well-being such as: psychological treatment, prevention, and promotion programs, and access of counseling services respectively. Policies for families, vacation and maternity/ paternity leave and even baby sitting assist the employee manage life outside work.
Ensuring that appropriate organizational culture and environment that allows the workers to balance their working and personal and responsibilities is equally crucial. Employers should not contact their subordinates during out-of-office hours and must demonstrate that their workers are not to be disturbed during such time. Rewarding people for their performance rather than expect them to spend many hours in work confirms the signal that efficiency is not about working more hours.
They do this not only in a way that improves the satisfaction and loyalty of the employees but also increases morale along with turnover as well as productivity. Positive attitude towards work commitment shows that a firm apprecates its employees. This in turn builds a conducive, virtuous organizational culture.
