Do you want to learn 5 secrets from me, your personal life coach to encourage life balance at work? If so, see if you can relate to these 3 questions.
- Does your team complain that they have no time for themselves?
- Is negativity starting to become part of your culture?
- Is your team walking around like zombies because they are sleep deprived?
We all know that when there is a supportive work atmosphere, the team will be more productive. Leadership needs to address life balance more so than ever before. Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers all share the same need to make time for themselves after work. This is the new normal. Companies that address these concerns will become the best and brightest places to work for in their industry. But what can you do? Try these 5 secrets:
Life Coach Secret #1: Survey people to learn their needs.
Develop a work-life committee to gather information on which flexibility needs your coworkers want and report the findings. Whether they’re dealing with eldercare, childcare or continuing education, you can help give management a better grasp on what the team needs.
Life Coach Secret #2: Take suggestions under advisement.
When people’s personal needs are met, they’re able to concentrate better and be more efficient. Start by asking for one reasonable request – for example, staggering the start and end of workdays. After the company familiarizes itself with flexible schedules, tackle a new need.
Life Coach Secret #3: Make sure desires match positions.
People need to be happy with their work. Do you know someone in accounting who would rather be doing more creative work? Encourage him or her to try a project in that department! The entire company will benefit by having a happier and more productive individual.
Life Coach Secret #4: Recognize signs of burnout.
Do you work with someone who always seems tired, overreacts to minor problems, and has diminishing productivity? Gently broach the subject. He or she may need to schedule a vacation or may need to switch jobs.
Life Coach Secret # 5: Set a good example.
If you occasionally need to take time out of your workday to attend to personal obligations, don’t hide it – you’re actually setting a good example! There will always be projects that compete for your time. Realize that some personal obligations need to take priority. When your work environment allows people to accomplish both their personal and professional goals, you’ll be rewarded with loyal, happy employees and coworkers … and increased productivity. Start setting yourself apart from the competition today!
