Work-Life Balance 31 May, 2020   

Many parents are struggling this days to keep professional and personal life under control and to have so called balance. After fourth week of quarantine many of them realized that is quit hard to make it with no additional help in house. Can we have that help this days?! NO

Amount of work has been decreasing since this crisis started in most of business industries and being actively included 8 hours/day is not anymore needed. Productivity can be gained with less hours and more motivated employees. How we can motivate them? Simply by giving them freedom to work as much as they consider that is needed to finish all given tasks. They know the best their job and how to manage it with no need to micromanage them.

Why then many employers making this kind of mistakes?! We all entered unprepared and with no knowledge how to deal with COVID19 and its consequences, personally and in a professional life . In regards with that, people very often forget that quality is more important then quantity. Many employers still did not use to manage this kind of situation and they are still having old habits towards work and tasks which are needed to be undertaken. However, this crisis has changed every aspect of our life and we need to change and adopt as well. People will be more motivated and inspired to give constructive solutions and results if we take in consideration their needs and demands produced by current circumstances.

We always opt for quality rather then quantity. Then, simply, give them time, decrease their hours (surely they will increase your productivity), let their kids to run around and think about them; they choose you as a right Employer among all others, considering you the best one, now it is time for you to take in consideration your EMPLOYEES.

In addition, we never forget it is job and job needs to be done, but also Human needs to remain Human and to show empathy and understanding towards humanity. Covid19 will pass, but what you do good for others will be there forever. Do your best!
