Finding it difficult to juggle home and work?
For all those that are working and struggling to make a work-life balance, you must read on.. I got this from my colleague and felt it to be an eye opener.
Is work-life balance a gender specific issue? Why do women find it more challenging?
Well, wouldn’t you if you were managing people at work, deadlines, targets, meetings, as well as managing the vagaries of home life like electricity bills, children, groceries, meals and homework?
My organization recently conducted a series of training workshops on work-life balance with women employees of a leading automobile group and a leading company in the real estate sector.
During the workshops, many women confessed that while they are doing justice to their various roles as wife, mother, executive, manager etc, there came a point when their individual identity was lost.
The fact is simple. There is simply no ‘me time’. And women are loathing to express their feelings and concerns for fear of disturbing the peace. So they keep it all to themselves, which is not healthy.
