This powerful resource investigates how a positive work–life
balance can help create engaged, productive employees, how
imbalances in work–life balance create serious issues for
workers, and identifies different ways to greatly improve one's
work–life balance. Of the 35 countries in the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), all except the United
States provide nationwide paid maternity leave. This is but one
example of how the United States has not made adequate provisions
to safeguard the work–life balance of its workforce—to the
detriment of the overall economic prosperity of the nation. This
insightful book shows how problematic an out-of-balance
work-to-life ratio is, gives readers the raw data and information
to prioritize their values, and describes tools available for
selecting a position that matches an individual's talents and is
congruent with her desired work–life balance. Work–Life Balance
examines the controversies associated with work–life balance in
the modern era and emphasizes how winning the struggle to achieve
work–life balance requires buy-in from employees, management, and
government. Readers will appreciate how optimizing their
work–life balance may incorporate employee assistance programs,
flextime, improved time management skills, technology-enabled
tools, and community programs. The author explains how choosing an
appropriate occupation is the first step toward having a positive
work–life balance and avoiding the twin scourges of depression
and job dissatisfaction. Comparisons between typical benefits in
the United States with those in other countries provide data that
can be used to advocate and negotiate for greater flexibility,
fairness in gender equality, and better employer-employee
relationships.
