Jane Coleman, Assistant Director of Personnel Services Work-Life Balance

Definition Work-life balance (WLB) is achieved when an individual’s right to a fulfilled life inside and outside paid work is accepted and respected as the norm, to the mutual benefit of the individual, business and society. [Employers and work-life balance – the Work Foundation]

Positive Benefits Reduced sickness absence and stress Greater commitment and motivation Increased productivity – individual and organisation Improved recruitment and retention of talent Enhanced customer service/reputation

Work preferences Workers spend on average equivalent of 32 days a year travelling to and from work & 1/3 of employees would take pay cut if could work from home [YouGov & WebEx survey 2006] 1 in 3 would prefer flexible working hours to £1k pay rise & right to work flexibly valued more highly than any other perk, including company car [DTI survey] 7.4 million part-time workers in UK [ONS, 2004] – 78% of whom are women

Attitudes towards WLB Treadmill athletes Success-seekers Home heroes Free spirits Balance masters Which one are you?!

Legal Framework Working Time Regulations Maternity and Parental Leave Regulations Paternity and Adoption Leave Regulations Part-Time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations Flexible Working Regulations - Forthcoming in April 2007– amendment to include carers

WLB Framework (1) Policies and practices (2) Support for individual employee & capability (equipping them with skills to manage own WLB) (3) Culture change

Individual Capability Understand various demands on your time & your emotional/mental energy Be clear about your priorities Spend reflective time to find ways to work smarter and play smarter Manage expectations and accept consequences of choices Build resilience and ability to stick to choices [D Clutterbuck, “Managing Work-life Balance” 2003]
