Global 

work life management

A progressive company would want its staff to be

healthy and therefore would consider work/life balance
as an important factor of its vision for people and
performance.
 Steps Organizations can take for Global Work Life

• Follow the various country laws and accept them. E.g.,

a team with people who have eight weeks and two
weeks of holiday respectively may feel some jealousy
and irritation; this has to be dealt with.

• There needs to be an understanding from the top

management of the relation between work/life balance
and financial performance.

• Train managers on stress management.

• Agree on a meeting culture that would suit most
people; e.g., no business travel during weekends.

• Conduct a survey, understand what most people want to

be motivated and manage their entire lives (e.g.,
working from home, evening meetings, travel).

• In teams keep open dialogues about workload and share

and cooperate whenever possible.

• Have honest conversations about what work/life

balance means to the individual.
Global context or national context, in the end, a
company wants high-performing staff and employees
want an enjoyable and healthy workplace.
