In an always-on workplace, attention is one of the first things to go. Since attention is our chief productivity tool, that takes a toll on performance. As demands increase, it takes more effort to get the work done. The constant intrusion of unbounded interruptions adds to the attention problem, making every task seem more difficult than it is.
The answer to the chaos and distraction is our work-life balance training. Work Smarter, Live Better shows through the science how to work more effectively, get more done in less time, cut stress and increase employee engagement. Check out the video at left, where Joe Robinson dissects some of the bottlenecks and challenges facing all of us these days.
Demonstrating the need for a work-life inititiave with a survey can be a great start. Low work-life survey scores are one of the most frequent reasons organizations come to us in search of a training program for their staff. You can do your own survey using our "How to Do a Work-Life Balance Survey" ebook, which has 20 questions covering the key hot-button issues. You can post the survey on Survey Monkey for anonymous results--or contact us, and we can set up the survey for you.
Work-life balance has a host of benefits for employers. A survey from the Corporate Executive Board found that people who feel they have good work-life balance work 21% harder than their colleagues. Make a great case to your leaders with the Top 5 Reasons for Work-Life Balance—productivity, increased revenue, improved retention, more engagement, and increased wellness and reduced health costs.

It's great if you can get a work-life balance training program initiated for the whole company, but if not, start smaller—with your team. Many of the trainings we do are driven by individual managers who want to vitalize their teams or by people who are part of groups within the company with a special interest in work-family, such as wellness committees or women's support groups.
Start small, demonstrate the impact the program can have, and you can kick off what happened at IBM Research after one of our programs, when other departments wanted to get in on the fun.
We're here to help support you and your staff along the journey to a great work-life balance event. Our expertise in working with a host of companies, big and small, from Nestle, to Budweiser, to New York City Public Health, gives us the experience to make your event a resounding success.
Our focus is not generalities or platitudes, but on specific, research-based tools your team can put together right away in a fun and interactive presentation. Check out our Work-Life Balance page for details.
In a crazy-busy world, it's very easy to get caught up in a work style that makes us act before we think, reacting to devices and others all day. It's a pattern that leads to doing more than we can do well, mistakes, stress, burnout, and reduced productivity.
There's a more productive way to work: managing demands, instead of having them manage us. This inspirational and interactive training shows your team how to do that, by using the latest research and best practices to make key adjustments to how they do their tasks and respond to stress, time frenzy, and other reflex behaviors.
We equip your team with an array of self-management tools to manage interruptions and email overload, improve time management and prioritization, increase focus, reframe stress, refuel energy, and dramatically upgrade quality of life.
They also get strategies to navigate the work-life divide and activate a fulfilling life outside the office, shown to increase attention and success on the job.
Give your team the best tools science has to offer, and big dividends—in performance, retention, engagement, and improved work-life survey scores—follow.
