Relationship between worklife balance
and work place culture
 An organisational culture which emphasises and
rewards long hours and high organisational
commitment
 Attitudes and resistance of supervisors and middle
management.
 Preference of senior management involved in
recruitment to dealing with people perceived as
similar to themselves.
 Lack of communication and education about work-
life balance strategies.
Change dramatically over the past 20
years
 Jobs in the service sector have risen by 36% while
manufacturing jobs have fallen by 39%.
 The intensity of work has increased: average working
hours are shorter but work is carried out faster.
Intensification affects all countries in the EU, all industry
sectors and all occupational categories.
 Changes in technology (IT and telephony) give
employers more flexibility in terms of the way they ask
people to work. 80% of managers said that virtual
working (also called e-working) is a key business issue,
according to a 2003 Roffey Park report.
