It’s very important to have work-life balance. Its sad to know that most companies do not realize how essential that is for their employees to have a balance in their lives in order for them to be effective with their jobs.

I find that when I feel that my life is in balance is when I am walking close to the Lord. When I am out of balance is when I let other things become more important than my time with him.

I agree with you, it’s up to the employees to work on their life outside of the job. No employer is going to that for you, it could just be a little easier for the employees to have some kind of support from the employer. One of the companies i’ve worked for (about 5 years), had this “you can call in sick, if your kids are sick” things, and also they hired psychologists and people to help employees, i thought it was awesome that an employer was willing to help its employees that much.. but prob is we got on a lock-out for about 13 months.. the company got sold to someone else.. and all that was gone when we got back to work.. bah i’ll try to earn as much online as i did back then

Yeah Jonathan,
I think it would be in a companies best interest to create an environment where their employees could “have a life” outside of work. However, when you get old and look back on your life, you can’t really blame the company you work for if you didn’t have a good family life.

Well Anthony i definitely see it just like you see it. I’ve worked for some companies where it simply didn’t matter to them if their employees were stressed or depressive. I can’t really think of any reason why an employer would not invest some time and money making sure their employees are doing ok. In the long run it would be way more profitable for them, and the money spent on that would actually come back to them tenfold. Happy employees will work better and harder.

It is also very nice of David to comment on the post!
