Work-Life Balance

Work-life balance is defined as the act of prioritizing and balancing work responsibilities with personal priorities in your life – family, hobbies, interests, etc. It can be measured by the amount of time spent doing your job vs. the time spent with your family or doing things that you enjoy personally. Work-life balance is critical to professional and personal health and is aimed at reducing stress and creating a stronger sense of personal fulfillment. It is widely documented and recognized that companies that encourage employees to pursue personal interests and take vacation away from work can help minimize employee burnout, increase overall work productivity and support employee general well being.
