Work/Life Balance Troubling for Many

     You may want to review your work / life benefits. About three-fourths (70 percent) of employees do not think there is a healthy balance between their work and their personal life, according to a survey by TrueCareers (www.truecareers.com). Of the 1,626 respondents, slightly more than half (51 percent) reported that they are considering looking for a new job as a result of difficulties juggling their personal and professional obligations.

     Of the individuals who report a negative balance between their work and personal life, 43 percent say that working too many hours has been the source of the interference. Thirty-six percent of respondents believe that worrying about work when not on the job has caused them to sacrifice a portion of their personal life. Notably, half of respondents agree that their company’s culture encourages them to have a life outside of work.
