What are the Challenges in Promoting Work-Life Balance?
1. Organizational Culture Changing an entrenched organizational culture that values long hours and constant availability can be challenging. Leaders need to actively work to shift perceptions and practices within the company.
2. Technology While technology can enable flexible working, it can also blur the lines between work and personal time. Leaders should set guidelines on after-hours communication and encourage employees to disconnect from work outside of office hours.
3. Individual Differences Each employee may have different needs and preferences when it comes to work-life balance. Leaders should strive to understand these individual differences and offer personalized support where possible.
