The work ethic has a lot to answer for

The work ethic has a lot to answer for, not because work is so important, but because it has for generations demeaned the value of interests outside of work. We were taught to believe that business solutions can only be found in the workplace. We are now beginning to recognize that life outside of work has a major impact on work productivity, job satisfaction and workforce stability.

I have developed a structured approach that facilitates business managers and their teams doing a review of their lifestyle at work, home and play. Various business people who have done my workshop say it not only helped them establish adjustments they want to make to their lifestyle, they also got important workplace benefits from the process.

The business benefits they mention are summarised at http://www.workleisure.com/BusinessBenefits.html . Their points are practical and potentially extremely beneficial for any manager who wants to attract, keep and more closely engage with team members and staff generally.

It's worth a read. And if you are interested in what I do, my next workshop is in Adelaide on 14 April. For full details, go to http://www.workleisure.com/Workshop.html
