WORK LIFE BALANCE AND HOW CAN I ACHEIVE IT?
Presented by: Veronica Lampe, Ph.D., Lakeland University

Ask yourself, "If I could only focus on one thing in my life, what would it be ...?” Work-life balance is a concept that encourages an ideal situation in which an employee can stabilize their time and energy between the professional and personal aspects of their life. So how do you shine in your career while making time for your loved ones? Work-life balance teaches us that we all have the right to be ambitious in pursuing our career goals, but not at the cost of losing important emotional and personal ties with people with whom we are going to share relationships with throughout our lives. Improper balance in your work commitments and personal responsibilities, more often than not, cause a tremendous stress between the different sides of a person’s life. The biggest problem is that most people think they have no choice, but that’s not really true.

Learning Outcomes

• Define work-life balance.
