Work-Life Balance (WLB) has always been a hot topic in the discussion of work life. Perhaps there is a type of work that allows the concept of WLB is easy to be realized. However, most employees felt that the realization of WLB was only a jargon and mere wishful thinking. Especially in an atmosphere of competition, the increasing number of jobs, as well as worsening congestion on the highway. What is so we can balance work life with personal life?
Many companies have made various efforts to realize the WLB. Some may form a taskforce, discussion groups, and even hiring HR consultants, although consultants themselves have not necessarily been able to balance work life with her own personal life. In fact, many of WLB programs that are only good on paper, but not successfully realized in the reality of everyday work. Not surprising, since most programs do not successfully complete WLB root of the problem that is often overlooked by companies, consultants, or employees. Here's the description.
WLB was 75% of his personal responsibility, not the company. We often think that the company is the party most responsible in achieving WLB. This is mistaken. There are two components in the WLB, namely working life (50%), and personal life (50%). The company did not have the ability and authority to meddle in private affairs. While working life, is the responsibility of both parties. Therefore, the portion of the responsibility of WLB was actually on its own employees (75%), and the companies (25%). WLB programs which only imposes a responsibility to the company will surely fail. And that's what happens in the real world, right?
Make effective use of time. WLB main cause of failure is the job demands that 'too much'. Might have a point. However, please check back, if indeed your work is too much or you are unable to use the time effectively? If you do not use time effectively then it is not fair to throw the problem to the job. For example, how many hours you play games? How many times have your work interrupted by blackberry? How long 'extension' lunch time? And, if you always arrive on time at the office? If you want to realize the WLB, the effective use of time becomes an absolute necessity, you know.
Undergoing positive personal activities. Personal activities that gift is priceless. That's your right, then use as much as possible. But, should be filled with positive activities. For example, if you overuse a private time for clubbing until 2 am, maybe the next day will not be able to work well. In the long run, surely you will be more drift away. But if your personal time really used to enjoy life with your wife, husband, children, friends and neighbors; then you will find the satisfaction of the needs of mentally, spiritually, and socially healthy. When he returned to the office, you are really ready to go back to work and unseen.
Maturity in holding the mandate. WLB is not a static condition, but a dynamic movement such as scales that go up and down or sway to the left and right. Sometimes dealing with a very high workload and should focus until eleven o'clock. Sometimes, also must keep a wife who was about to give birth. Which is the heaviest weights? Left or right? To be able to balance it back, it takes maturity in holding the mandate. When asked for permission take care of family problems, you take a reasonable time of moral hazard portion that is not so trustful job well done. That way, all the trust will not be a burden piles at a later date.
Given the life after death. Heavy work demands are not the only major cause of loss of WLB. There are many professionals who have lost WLB because it is controlled by the personal ambitions. Pursuit of that ambition, they sacrifice the rights of his family, while continuing to think everything went fine. Position and wealth are inherently addictive aka addictive. The more successful we are, the more often forget when to pause. In fact, our family not only requires the fulfillment of sheer material. If this is so, we need to remember that life is not just the world alone. There is time to find the gift in the world, as much as possible. But there is time to stop the hunt in order to save material supplies Everlasting life.
Let's stop the habit of throwing the responsibility to the company realize the WLB. True companies must facilitate the programs supporters. But if we do not empower ourselves, then any good program will never succeed. Manage yourself, that's an absolute prerequisite WLB. Because 75% share of that responsibility, there is in ourselves.
