The pressure and stress of work for many continues to
build, as does the number of people who work long hours. The nature of
work is changing because of a more global market and the increase in
information and communications technology. Technology advances are
changing the way in which companies compete. The place and time of work
is becoming more ubiquitous as cell phones, the Internet, PDAs and the
24-hour global economy seem to control our working and non-working
lives.
Those who have achieved work-life balance are better positioned to
handle today's demands. They are more satisfied with their work and
home lives; better able to fulfill their responsibilities at home, work
and in the community with less guilt or regret; more healthy
physically, emotionally and socially; have a sense of control and make
better informed decisions rather than forced sacrifices and trade offs.
In
this issue, we examine the cause and effect of work-life balance as
well as imbalance. The dilemma is clear: work-life imbalance is a
problem--for individuals as well as organizations.
I live by the motto: "Work to live, not live to work."
