Separating work from home-life is for all intensive purposes, not that practical. And when you’re a business owner, entrepreneur or manager of an organisation that requires your very best day-in, day-out, it’s just down-right impossible! But there’s good news. Research shows that businesses and employers who empower individuals to reveal their ‘true’ self and be open and upfront about family commitments experience less sick days, greater productivity and increased staff loyalty.
When it comes to balancing goodwill with workplace productivity, there’s no better way to set the record straight than leading by example. So next time your wife, sister or uncle asks if you can take little Suzie for a couple of hours? Say yes. Demonstrate flexibility through example, the goodwill generated will more than make up for any lost hours. Less talk, more action – ask us how today.
