What is work-life balance?
Work-life balance is the relationship between your work and the rest of your life. It’s not just about achieving an equal balance between both areas, it's more complex than that. The right balance for you may favour one area of your life over the other. And this may change over time or depend on what stage you’re at in life. For example, if you’re just starting out in your career, you might be looking for quite a different work-life balance than if you’ve got young children.
Work-life balance means different things to each of us, so it’s hard to generalise about what the ‘right’ balance is. It really depends on you finding how best your work commitments and your lifestyle fit together.
