Work-Life Matters

Crafting a New Balance at Work and at Home
BuchKartoniert, Paperback
188 Seiten

Work-life balance isn´t about where or how you spend your time. At least not solely. It´s about where and how you use and replenish your energy. Work matters. Life matters. Work-life matters.As we start to navigate life during and after the pandemic, employers and employees are increasingly re-evaluating how work can be made more sustainable and more fulfilling. Many employees - particularly Gen X and Gen Z - are seeking a new psychological contract with their employers. Putting these trends into context and offering practical solutions, this book takes a deep dive into why work matters as part of a healthy and fulfilling life. The authors present a new and different way of thinking about the matter of balance, arguing that there is no hard divide between work´ and life´ because work´ takes place entirely within life´ and you can´t balance two things when one is a subset of the other. To achieve the balance required for a healthy existence, we need to recognisethat there are activities in all parts of work-life that drain our energy and others that give us a buzz. Rather than trying to solve the drain of hard work by living it large at the weekend - or compensating for an unfulfilling home life by working like a demon, we need to create balance at work and balance at home. Now is a golden opportunity to re-examine the world of work and job-craft to make them more satisfying, less draining and more energising. The ideas in this book provide a practical guide to help that process.mehr
