How Work-Life Balance is Shifting (And How to Keep it in Your Favor)

There’s a new paradigm for professionals battling to balance their working time and their personal time, according to John Trougakos, an associate professor of organizational behavior at University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.  

“The ethos encouraging overworking is becoming more pronounced,” says Trougakos. Sales targets and bottom line figures are turning up the pressure on employees to perform, and perform more often. Its a conundrum for employees who want to get ahead without sacrificing time for family, friends, and recovery from mental fatigue, which is often overlooked.”

The “Shoves” and “Tugs” of Employee Engagement

If you saw our recent study in The New York Times, you already know the shocking news that in 42% of organizations, high performers are less engaged than low performers. But there’s a great deal of confusion over what motives people to be engaged. For example, 89% of managers surveyed believe that money is the biggest reason employees quit. But 91% of employees surveyed say money had nothing to do with their decision to leave an organization. Maybe your people want certain hours, more flexibility, better benefits, or career advancement. Then there are the folks who just want to do their current job without being pushed to climb any higher. And even the best talent can stop giving their best effort when they can’t stand their boss or they dislike their coworkers.

It’s important to regularly focus on employee engagement–don’t make it a once-a-year push.  Regular touch-points can eliminate those big eruptions when it’s often too late to fix what was a stewing problem.
