Different Challenges to Work-Life Balance

Different Challenges to Work-Life Balance

Q Work-life balance (WLB) is a challenge for many people. 1. 1. Think about the typical Starbucks (or other fast food) worker (slide #3). What WLB challenges do you think they face? As a manager, what could you do that might help resolve some of these challenges? 2. Now think about a professional white-collar employee (slide #10). Do they have good work-life balance? Why or why not? How are their WLB challenges different from retail or fast food workers?

WLB that the Starbucks worker faces is the irregular work schedule as their work does not get gets over at the actual time. Some employees are not having their needs met. Most workers do not have flexible work options because they do not experience the work-life balance. Sometimes the workers have to work late at night also. This is the reason they are unable to maintain their personal life balance. As a manager, I could motivate them to do new things and give flexible hours to give quality time to their families. A manager should encourage a healthy work-life balance by striking that perfect balance between career and family.
