 With stress levels on a constant upward trend and people working longer hours than ever managing work life balance is not always easy.
The last century predicted an age of leisure, where robots and computers took the strain, allowing us to lead rich, rewarding and balanced lives. So where is this world?
Work-life balance is a term that has been used often lately. It's all about getting the balance right between the pursuit and development of your career and your life outside work.
Diversity Dimensions provide a range of tools
and services designed to assist employees to implement
and maintain a better work/life balance.
Work-Life Balance (WLB)
means finding a happy balance between work and home life.
At Diversity Dimensions we recognise that everone is different
and a good WLB will mean different things to different
people. We assist forward thinking employers who have seen
the need for flexible working
arrangements, support services and health facilities. We
strongly believe that the responsibility for achieving
WLB lies with the employee so as to meet their own personal
and career goals.
