Course Overview

What is work-life balance? As per Wikipedia, “Work-life balance is the lack of opposition between work and other life roles. It is the state of equilibrium in which demands of personal life, professional life, and family life are equal”.

How important is it to achieve a work-life balance? Harmonizing your work and life is important for retaining good health, and to increase your yield and satisfaction at work. In this competitive corporate culture, many of us tend to lead a very unbalanced life.

Establishing a balance at work and in our personal life can be challenging. Individuals who live lives out of this balance are at greater risk for burnouts, ill-health, and absenteeism. And those employees with better-balanced life live a happier, satisfied, and more productive life at work and in their families.

Both these aspects of life are very important for healthy success and demand your attention, time, and energy. Participants who learn these life skills tend to become healthier, both mentally and physically.

They strike a balance and learn to draw boundaries and enjoy a satisfying lifestyle. Attaining a work-life balance will improve your attitude and helps you look at life stress-free.

Zoe Talent Solutions has specially designed this program to empower participants on how to manage your work life in the best possible manner.

A good work-life balance is accompanied by delegation skills, time management skills, skills to set the right level of priorities, and stress management skills to create harmony and health in the lives of individuals.

These topics will be covered in depth in this special program. During this training program, you will also learn ways to focus on priority tasks, set SMART goals at work, and communicate more effectively at work and with members in the family and society.
