Living is a life-long process and working is a daily activity that
will engage us for at least one half of our lifetime. As an agricultural
society, life was far less complicated and frenetic than it is today
- living and working were more balanced. Today, how work gets done
does not naturally lend itself to a balanced, integrated Work-Life
and this chaotic influence seems to be in place for the forseeable
future.
We come ill prepared for what we experience in the workplace today.
The incidence of stress, anxiety and depression present glaring
proof, that today we are living through circumstances that must
be similar to what people coming off the land faced at the time
of the Industrial Revolution... a whole new world of work and living
that was so different from the world they knew.
The
trauma of that time easily matches the trauma of integration we
face today.
Coupled
with these realities is a pervasive sense of entitlement that many
of us acquired as the Industrial Age unfolded...a sense that we
would be looked after. Today we are being challenged to look after
ourselves and be responsible for ourselves; called to not count
on the dying myth of a workplace that will take care of you from
first job to gold watch. Today we are being called to 'watch our
own gold' and not wait for someone else to mine it for us.
It's
hard to bring your best self to work...Consider
You
may or may not be working at something that is meaningful to you.
Your choice of work might suit you very well but is so disruptive
to your personal life, because of long hours, traveling extensively
etc. that it creates huge anxiety for you at home which spills over
to work. In the end you are just not able to take your best self
to work.
Office
communications are reported as being more disruptive and unsettling
– from bullying to outbursts of anger to an overall increase in
anxiety and stress. You could have work you love that loses its
glow because of influences that just wear you down. And it can't
help but affect your personal life...even if we've all been told
that we must separate the two. In the end you take it home.
And
your job could just be meaningless or it feels that way...it just
leaves you completely disheartened. Your attitude affects those
with whom you work and those at home. You are not taking your best
self to work.
As
an employer it just makes good economic sense to assist your employees
in bringing their best selves to work. It is important to remember
that individuals, who work within a work system, have different
needs than the needs of the system that provides the work.
You
can help people bring their best selves to your workplace. If you
do, you will have people who can more readily help the system meet
its needs for high productivity and bottom line health.
...A
Story
There was
a man who was literally crushed by the weight of his work-life. A
bad attitude affected his ability to hold a job and his partner continuously
put him down. Everything was going wrong. This man clearly needed
a win...and we found one. ‘Let's get your home based business running
on solid ground, so if the rest of your life falls apart, you will
know you have something strong you can fall back on.' That was enough
to make the man choose to take responsibility for himself and he moved
into action. He will be fine now. That is not to say he won't have
challenges in the future, but it does mean that he has gained back
his confidence and self esteem and he is choosing to see life differently.
Work comprises
a good part of our waking hours and impacts heavily on the rest
of our lives. The concept of integrating career and personal life
management is based on this very fact...that the two are inseparable
and the better we can bring these two aspects into balance with
one another, the more composed life will be.
