Women in Business, 1 March 2007: Hosted by Krishna De: Work Life Balance - the business case and how to achieve greater work life balance

With today being National Work Life Balance Day in Ireland, we have recorded a special edition podcast on the subject of Work Life Balance.

Work Life Balance seems to be the theme of the moment with many people searching for greater balance in their life. But is work life balance something that we truly can experience or is it something that is just not realistic in todays fast paced working environment?

Make sure you have a pen and paper ready to take notes as colleague Ann Greene and I discuss:

• what does work life balance really mean
• what is the business case for implementing work life balance policies and frameworks
• and practical steps you can take as a leader to address your own work life balance.

Do share your thoughts on audio tutorial by posting in the comments section. We would love to hear from you if you have found other strategies that have worked for you to ensure that you have created greater balance in your life or if you have questions about achieving greater work life balance.
