    The more balanced the employee is with life and work together the better the person you get to show up to work. If their life at home is in chaos or stressful then you get a stressed employee. If you want employees to bring their best everyday. Help them balance all aspects of their life while still getting their job done!

    Happy employees stay with the company, reducing the need to hire and train and the company has the benefit of retaining employees with more experience and knowledge. Healthy employees take fewer sick days. Happy employees also treat customers and coworkers better and are more willing to go that extra mile.

    Unbalanced work life leads to stress. Stressed employees are more prone to be negative, less productive, and have less energy to put towards being pro-active about their jobs and come up with creative solutions. Stress also leads to health issues, increases the need for time off, and contributes to a culture of general negativity. Who wants to work in a place like that?

    1. Less turn over —— saves training time and money —— better team cohesion —— keep that experience 2. When employees feel their company is concerned about their work life they are more willing to give it all when they are working! 3. I could go on for day, work life balance is the future of employment

    Like the airlines say, "Put your air mask on first before helping others." If you're completely burnt out, you can't help yourself; you certainly can't help others.
