WAYS TO IMPROVE WORK/LIFE BALANCE AT THE COMPANY.

Here are some work/Life balance initiatives that can be implemented to help employees re-establish solid boundaries between their professional and personal time.

Make Vacation Time a Priority- Getting enough rest is essential to work/Life balance, but many professionals don't fully disconnect during their annual leave. A recent survey discovered 49% of people worked every day during their vacations, and they frequently cited fear of falling behind at work and disappointing team members as their reasons.

In addition, professionals often don't take all their vacation time. In 2021, the average US citizen had 9.5 days of unused paid time off. It would help to remind employees to use their vacation days by emailing them about their remaining time off and encouraging them to schedule it.

Managers can discuss upcoming holiday plans with reports and talks about the benefits of disconnecting from work. And when someone's away, ensure they don't have any scheduled tasks and nobody contacts them, so they don't end up working during their off days.

Increase Paid Leave- One way to encourage people to take more time off is to provide more paid leave When a company offer ample vacation time in addition to dedicated personal days and sick leave, employees will feel confident taking time off to relax instead of worrying about saving days off for unexpected future disappointments.

Generous paid vacation also means staff is more likely to return to work well-rested and mentally prepared for any challenges. This is the way to promote a healthy work/life balance to employees.
