Balancing employees' work and home life: Unlocking Workplace Wellbeing podcast

Welcome to the Unlocking Workplace Wellbeing podcast for HR managers and business owners, where we talk about workplace wellbeing to make everyone’s lives better.

As the lines between work and personal life continue to blur, especially in our increasingly digital world, many HR managers and employers are seeking ways to help their employees maintain a healthy balance.  

In this episode, Verve Healthcare CEO Steven Pink talks to Katherine Walker, a former Director at Shell turned psychotherapist and leadership coach, about this crucial topic. 

 

Katherine, who recently published her book "Step Up: Step Parenting and the Art of Creating a Happy, Healthy, and Blended Family", shared valuable insights on how the dynamics of home life can impact work life and vice versa. Let's explore some of her key points and how they can be applied in your workplace. 

Katherine emphasises that our home and work lives are deeply interconnected. "Who we are affects our environment, and our environments affect us," she explains. This means that when employees come to work, they bring a bit of their home life with them, whether consciously or unconsciously. Similarly, when they return home, they carry the impact of their work day. 

 

As an HR manager or employer, it's crucial to recognise this connection. While you can't control your employees' home environments, you can create a workplace culture that supports their overall wellbeing.
