Yes, many Millennials and Gen agreed in December so-called “chaos culture”, put in long hours of work, while their careers are still young for speed in hope. Previous generations have behaved the same way. What is different now, experts say that today more and more young workers by “Life” focuses “work-life balance”. A 2015 study conducted by the Center for Work and Family at Boston College found that only 20% of Millennials said they would like to advance their career, if it means personal or family time to lose doing. While previous generations seem to have been more willing to sacrifice their personal work life, co-author of the study, says Brad Harrington, Millennials seem a “stake in the ground” with saying “I do not have a job, that’s all -encompassing I will have the opportunity to work flexibly could have been in the past as “at the same time, technological developments have trouble away for Millennials and Gene December from work -. their grandparents did not have to worry that I’m a 11:00 e-mail from the boss. has in modern realities employees of connectivity in the workplace of all ages to reconsider their relationship with their work. So if you are looking for your work-life balance will be restored, these tips can help experts. Identify what is important – and that could cause harm than good, the “work-life balance” as a term says Stewart Friedman, executive director of the Life Integration Project Work / Wharton and author of parents. He suggested that work and life are in the other, he argues, and you need to take a time to give to others. Instead, Friedman says that workers rethink how the different parts interact with their lives for each other. Friedman recommends that people think about what really matters to them and what they want their lives to look as far into the future. Next, Friedman says they should recognize that they are the people of his life which is more important – whether it is their boss, spouse, children or friends engstene. Workers must try to be “more aware of what really matters to me, which is really important to me,” says Friedman. “How can I, a life that wants to live, I, and who will support me in it, and how can I win? You need to go to do for themselves.” With all this in mind, says Friedman, it will take some time workers thinking about how to influence each other all their dealings with these people. may, for example, a boss employees may want to stay late to finish a project, but that the staff mean missing the routine of going to bed her baby. But instead of calling the boss’s office, the more time away march, says Friedman, the worker should have an open dialogue, because it’s probably leave They stressed and distracted the next day when their child is excited or alternatively with a way to get the project done – how come in early the next morning. Friedman says that people who are most successful are ready to find solutions, to experiment until you find the ones that are not working. Ultimately, says Friedman, people who go through this thought process tends to shift their attention away from the workplace. He adds that the research shows that seeking new solutions used to build harmony between their work and private life actually get better performance evaluations by peers, and tend to feel better in general on their lives. Of course, as employers and managers of this accommodation strategy vary. Do not forget your own being, if you want to succeed in the workplace, it is important to play the game longer, says Bryan Robinson, a psychotherapist and author of #Chill: Turn on your work and turn on your life. Although it may very work hard to give a boost in a short time, he believes that young people tend to the long-term consequences of workaholism underestimated. Robinson says his younger patients often the consequences of a culture of work have, seems to require employees to “produce and move faster.” “Everything is quick, quick, let-get-it-done. We know for sure that you burn off,” says Robinson. “The body will push back.” Robinson asks workers how to work feeling about their life takes its focus on the here and now to win again. Workers should ask themselves the following questions, he says: They’re taking care of the basic needs of their body? They are tired, hungry, lonely, or angry? Keep limits in their lives, or they find it difficult, is also working to stop on vacation? Finally, Robinson argues that it is important to find the tools to stay calm and take during the hectic work day, like a couple of times during the day to meditate. This could be as simple as a break to listen to the sounds around – your breath, birds singing and the clicking of computer keys at the office. Another simple technique is to focus on a person, place, spiritual figure or pet that makes you feel comfortable. “Many people think if I balance my life, I will not be productive, or I will not be as sein.’Aber success is just the opposite,” says Robinson. If you regularly pay attention to the present moment, he says, “it basically teaches your mind that you do not need to be running and running. And you begin to feel more, up to, whatever the challenge or what ever the obstacles. you are able to find a way around them to find out. “Rethinking what is normal Kathleen Gerson, a sociology professor at New York University, he argues that the tips victims” can establish the balance between work life and “be a trap because they have the burden falls just might mean for workers to manage their lives. Instead, she argues that employers have their employees will be able to ensure needs a healthy attitude toward their career to have, and that workers need to advocate for better treatment. Part of the problem of balance between work and life, after all, is a benefit down. Unlike many other high-income countries, Americans are unpaid family vacation or even guaranteed recognized sick. Although Americans are guaranteed vacation days, many do not take them from them from all over the allotted time; According to a study, 55% of employees have left some of their vacation days unused in 2018 Gerson says that their research takes many workers with no time off because they are afraid of negative consequences in place to find work. Employers, he says, often sending “subtle message that, yes, this [benefits] are available, but if you take, we will wonder about your commitment to your work.” Gerson says that the story It showed that the legislation of a strong impact it can have on the culture of work – unemployment and the 40-hour week, the result of the legislation were made during the Great depression, after all. She believes that to create a national requirement for companies to leave, all workers would benefit from this table stakes are considered workers. “We can only change [standards], if we have group policies that apply to everyone and that we use all agree, and that man. And that’s how the standards are starting to change. No one would say today, as you can take the unemployment courage ‘, “says Gerson. “If we have no national policy, then punish employers who are trying to do, because then employers in the competition, which are not bound by the same rules. There must be a level playing field for organizations to be his unique way must be equal conditions for workers. “
