what your view on Work-Life Balance

There are a number of different issues to consider under this topic. For one thing, what constitutes appropriate Work-Life Balance will inevitably vary across different individuals and work environments.

Sometimes people think of work and leisure as pure tradeoffs, where the work is seen as drudgery and the leisure is seen as a source of happiness and fulfillment. And yet, many occupations can give people a sense of success and fulfillment in life. Indeed, selecting the right occupation can be one of the key foundations for building a happy life. An occupation that allows you to see positive results from your work, help others, and exercise your creativity, is a far better foundation for a happy life than one that is filled with drudgery or routinely having to deal with negativity and unpleasant situations.

In some cases, employers can and should try make the jobs that they offer more fulfilling. Consider, for example, how the following will affect on-the-job retention, turnover, and productivity:

• Work-Satisfaction & Job Fulfillment
• Workplace Alienation vs Workplace Agency
• Routines and Boredom vs. On-the-job Engagement and Creativity

These are just some examples, as there are also a wide variety of other things for us to consider here.
