Work-Life Balance
If you think you don’t have a healthy balance between home and work, you are not alone.
Over 70% of workers do not think there is a healthy balance between work and their personal lives.
59% believe they suffer ill health as a result of work stress.
When workers are in a state of imbalance, mistakes are made, morale is low, productivity suffers, more days are lost to sick leave and retention is low.
Develop Corporate Athletes
Corporate athletes are capable of sustained, outstanding performance. This requires physical, emotional and mental endurance. To get this level of elite performance, a balance of exertion and recovery is essential. This not only strengthens endurance but also prevents damage.
Balance isn’t found by creating more time. It comes about by generating more energy and skillfully managing the cycle of exertion and recovery. This workshop builds on a behavior-based work-life balance assessment and provides a streamlined process that ends with a clear action plan for personal change and accountability.
The highest performers are the most likely to consider their ability to balance work and personal responsibilities in a decision to stay with the company. (IBM, 1992 workforce survey)

Stock Gains Are Four Times Higher for 100 Best
A recent study by the Great Places to Work Institute and Russell Investment Group showed that companies on FORTUNE's Best Companies To Work For List posted collective returns more than four times higher than that of the general market (when compared to 2 other indexes of the broad market), over the last seven years.
Dynamic Balance
Balance is dynamic; always changing, never stable. Work-life effectiveness is based on making clear choices that will support the integration of your work and life. These choices are not always obvious or simple. But they form the foundation for satisfying work and living.
The Work-Centric Option
Being work-centric is not the problem and being less focused on work is not the solution. The real solution is found through dynamic awareness, choices and tools that allow a person take control of their own work-life integration. The result is better focus, fewer mistakes, higher morale and greater productivity. Enhanced work-life effectiveness also generates healthier, happier, and more committed employees.
Benefits for the Organization
Work-Life balance for the organization results in better recruiting, retention, attitude/morale, commitment, customer service, productivity, revenue and profit.
