WLB – Work Life Balance after the summer

Constant pressure at the workplace urges everyone to take a break in the summer. Creating the Work Life Balance – the healthy balance between one’s work and private life – has never been easy, especially since the economic crisis started, as we find the safety of having a job even more important. How can one achieve that balance?

By being in a good mental condition, living a balanced private life, working in a motivating environment and by knowing what is important when – ranking tasks and goals and planning one’s life. A successful and healthy life starts at defining the goal: What do you want to do? Who do you want to become? How much money do you need for these? Everyone has to find the answers to these questions but some people are looking for them more consciously. Women should never forget that having children fundamentally changes conditions for them. Luckily, these days family and flexibility help them in overcoming eventual difficulties and limitations. Employers can do a lot in making it possible for employees to live a complete, balanced life. In Europe Hungarians spend the most hours with work – but let us not forget that the quality and the quantity of working are not the same thing! The efficiency of working does not solely depend on the number of hours: working is most effective if one knows what they are doing and enjoy doing it. WLB – private life and career – make one’s life whole.
