Work-life balance: The key to success for companies and employees.
A poor work-life balance can have a negative impact on both employees and employers. Employees who do not have sufficient work-life balance are more prone to stress, burnout and health problems, which can lead to higher absenteeism and staff turnover. At the same time, conflicts in one’s personal life can cause conflicts in the workplace and affect work performance
Stress
Work-life imbalance increases stress and leads to poorer work performance, burnout and conflicts.
Conflict
Work-life imbalance can lead to conflicts in one’s personal life and at work, and that can affect work performance.
Sleep disorders
Work-life imbalance can cause sleep disorders, which can affect health and work performance and lead to a higher risk of illness.
Employers may be affected by a lack of work-life balance in the form of higher costs, lower employee satisfaction and lower productivity. In order to avoid these problems, it is important to promote work-life balance and, if necessary, provide selective support through elements of the employee assistance programme. By promoting work-life balance, employers and employees can benefit from higher work performance, lower absenteeism and reduced costs.
Reconciling family and career – everyone wins
A good work-life balance is essential for well-being and health. Companies that offer their employees a good work-life balance can benefit in the long term from higher employee retention, lower absenteeism and increased productivity. Familizy supports companies and their employees in overcoming challenges related to family and work, such as finding childcare or organising care for family members. This allows parents and families to concentrate fully on their work while their needs and obligations at home are met.
Measurable benefits of a healthy work-life balance
Successful companies need an innovative and modern human resources policy. That’s right! That includes real services for balancing work and family life.
This boosts your reputation as an employer and has a positive impact on recruitment, absenteeism and staff turnover. Employees are able to feel more relaxed and motivated thanks to reliable, high-quality care for their children.
