“Work-life balance is about
employees having a measure of control
over when, where and how they work.
It is achieved
when an individual’s right
to a fulfilled life

inside and outside work
is accepted and respected
as the norm –
to the mutual benefit of
the individual, business and society.”

Work life balance
is an individual’s ability
to fulfill their work and

lifestyle responsibilities
with minimal conflict and
maximum contentment.

WORK - LIFE BALANCE
IS NOT
trying to schedule
an equal number of hours
for each of your various
work and personal activities
~ that would become
usually unrewarding and unrealistic

HAVE YOU
EVER THOUGHT OF
YOUR PURPOSE OF LIFE
IN RESPECT OF
EACH OF THESE
MULTIPLE ROLES ?
Make an attempt to express
all priorities and important aspects of
one’s ideal life?
Then, really plan to achieve your priorities ?

DO YOU CONSIDER
YOUR WORK-LIFE BALANCE
TO BE IN BALANCE
OR
OUT OF BALANCE ?

OPTIMAL WORK – LIFE
BALANCE ZONE
AMOUNT OF PRESSURE
Boredom Mistakes
Apathy Poor Judgment
Lethargy Bad Decisions

Females tend to find it
more difficult than males
to strike the ideal balance
because of the
motherhood mandate
which NATURE & CULTURE
impose on the female parent.

In a traditional society,
characterised by male domination,
Men are more prone to many attractions & distractions;
such as clubs, cinemas, parties, horse races,
stock market operations and so on.
The women, generally speaking, keep themselves
away from these preoccupations.
Hence, there is more time, more concentration
and more commitment, for the women,
whether it is home or office.
Does not this make a big difference ?

Men demonstrate a general preference for enjoying the leisure,
may even prefer to be lazy, hesitating to lend a helping hand
in the household work.
However, women are generally more busy with household work,
first to getup and last to go to bed;
willingly accepting the thousand-fold duties of the home;
a restlessness with pending work, resulting in
being continuously busy with some work or the other,
without being tired.
Women, in general, work more
and generally do not complain of being tired;
keeps them, relatively more healthy, develops patience,
betters their Immunity levels,
may be, makes them more successful managers and so on.

General characteristics of women include,
amongst many other positive things,
love and affection, compassion, kindness, concern,
willingness to care and share,
while men generally score lower on these counts.
Men generally are prone to certain addictions, and have a tendency
to
diffuse their attention and get distracted a little more easily.
Women generally demonstrate a pleasantness,
ability to tackle things in a diplomatic manner,
willingness to listen, more organized and disciplined,
considerate to the views of others, greater commitment and
perseverance to succeed.

Consequences of
Work - Life imbalance
Reduced work and family satisfaction
Increased psychological strain symptoms
Reduced positive affect and well-being
Increased work withdrawal
(lateness, absenteeism) and consequently,
decreased work performance
Increased marital and family withdrawal
Increased physical health symptoms –
insomnia, fatigue, headaches,
heart disease, etc.

YOU HAVE GOT TO WORK HARD
TO FIND A LIFE.
WHEN YOU FIND IT,
YOU CAN THINK OF
HOW TO JUGGLE & BALANCE
BOTH.

Know Yourself
Write a mission statement for
yourself by considering the following
questions:
 What is most important in my life?
 What do I want to be in my life?
 What will I need to do to become that?
 How do I want to be remembered by my family?
 What do I want to be known for by my office

1. Set aside time to reflect
on your life, dreams, and goals.
2. Determine your areas of strength.
3. Identify what you enjoy doing.
4. Set some short-term
(one day, one week, one month)
and long-term (2+ years) goals.
5. Schedule time to accomplish your goals.
6. Recognize and deal with stress

1. Honestly assess How much Balance You Want
2. Choose a Talented, Supportive Companion (Spouse)
3. Clearly Communicate Career Expectations
4. Manage Work Expectations (set boundaries)
5. Refresh Yourself Regularly (take vacations)
6. Include your Spouse in Every Major Career Decision
7. Recognize there will be Tradeoffs
8. Review and Reassess regularly – Be reasonable and
responsive to the changing situations.

Your best individual work-life balance
will vary over time, often on a daily basis.
The right balance for you today
will probably be different for you tomorrow.
The right balance for you when you are single
will be different when you marry,
or if you have children;
when you start a new career / promotion ~ versus
when you are nearing retirement.
There is no perfect, one-size fits all, balance
you should be striving for.
The best work-life balance
is different for each of us
because we all have different priorities and
different lives.

YOUR LIFE NEEDS SELF MANAGEMENT

What is LIFE?
Life is a time period
between your ‘birth’ and
the ultimate – ‘death’
And, it’s full of CHOICES……
You choose how you want it to be.

• Think what YOU WANT…
– TO HAVE
– TO BECOME
– TO DO
Write down your Goals and put a target date
(only 3% people in the world
write their goals and
all of them achieve those)
Don’t you want to join that 3 per cent ?

BE A BETTER BETTER-HALF
If you are married,
become your spouse’s number one supporter,
the one who is always there supporting and
fueling hopes and dreams.
Develop together and
march confidently
through the world
as an army of two.
