The term ‘work-life balance’ is defined as … ‘the desire of all individuals – not just those with families or caring responsibilities, to maintain a balance between their paid work and their life outside work…’ (The Work Foundation)

The Work-Life Balance programme is designed to facilitate the improvement of individuals’ personal and professional lives, and enhances organisational effectiveness through addressing causes and pre-cursors to stress and negative work-life balance in the workplace.
Increasingly, a positive work-life balance is being recognised as a major contributor to personal effectiveness, and organisational performance.
Coaching and Mentoring International’s Work-Life Balance programme can be delivered over one-day, half a day or over a 12 session programme for individuals, and goes through a wide range of exercises that enable individuals and organisations alike to see what they can do for themselves and for each other.
What you can do does not simply equate to extra time off or flexi-time. A wide range of areas are explored including lifestyle, health, family and workplace; all with the aim of empowering subtle personal and organisational changes that can have a major positive impact on attitude, morale, health, commitment, achievement and overall happiness.
Patricia Hewitt, former Secretary of State for Trade & Industry commented, “Stressed workers cannot perform to their maximum potential… and this can damage commercial success. That is why it is down to employers and employees to work together to find sensible work-life balance solutions, which will result in better results, higher productivity and increased staff commitment.”
