Photo: Michael Justice The Power of Work Life Balance Like preventive care, work life balance isn’t usually on the radar until it’s too late and things are distinctly unbalanced. But by that time, the stress and burnout are running wild, and along with them health and retention bills. But why wait? With more demands and fewer hands to go around driving stress to record levels, balance is no longer a perk but a necessity to keep personnel energized, engaged and out of the red zone. In the knowledge economy, the productive edge goes to minds that are focused and enthused. Without a proactive work life balance program, ingrained default buttons go over the edge into stress, burnout and overscheduling. There’s a better way than letting stress and burnout call the shots. We have the power to control and manage stressors and not be run by them. Balance is not an exotic condition, but the state that science tells us our brains crave for the best cognitive performance. It also happens to be one of the universal keys to life satisfaction, endorsed from Aristotle to Einstein. Now that's a powerful force to have around the office.

You’ll learn how to restore energy and effectiveness to the time on task and, critically, get a comprehensive plan to pump up life satisfaction off task.
