How should an organization start to support work-life balance?
Start with the employees needs, and start modestly and carefully. A failed experiment can be much more damaging in the long run than inaction. Ensure that all stakeholders are involved. Assess the needs of the employees, develop policies to reflect those needs, pilot the changes with a trial, and evaluate it, both formally and informally, between the employee, the employer, the co-workers, the customers, the suppliers, whoever needs to be involved to see if it is working, and if it isn’t working, how to solve the problems and adjust the program.
