Corporate Culture's Effects on Work-Life Balance
 |
“Corporate culture” and “work-life balance” are common buzzwords these days. A corporate culture that fosters work-life balance is a testament to the company’s leadership, something Joel Hackney prides himself on instilling in his employees, especially those managing others.
As a young man just starting his career, Joel kept his head down and pushed through long hours at the office to impress his bosses and further his career. It wasn’t long before the grueling pace caught up with him and he was overwhelmed by the amount of work and little time for rest and recuperation between work days. Though he didn’t realize it at the time, Joel’s dedication to work-life diminished his quality of life overall. As his confidence in his abilities increased, he focused on finding the right balance to ensure both quality work and quality time in his personal life.
Joel Hackney's Solution
As a husband and father, Joel has learned that maintaining work-life balance not only alleviates stress at home but also at work. Stress is a normal part of life, but feeling consistently overwhelmed can have a negative impact on physical, emotional, mental, and social health, as well as quality and consistency of work. He recommends to his own employees struggling to find a work-life balance to talk with their managers and develop a plan that both meets expectations at work and helps them find more time for personal commitments.
At nThrive, where employees are intensely focused on delivering innovative technology solutions for the healthcare industry and improving the overall healthcare experience for patients nationwide, Joel stands behind the company’s long-standing, dedicated effort to ensure employees can find work-life balance. In addition to a variety of benefits and generous vacation time, the company offers programs that contribute to a work-life balance and help provide stability for employees’ family and work life, including telecommuting, part-time, flexible scheduling, and temporary employment opportunities.
According to Joel, work-life balance is about efficiency. Having the time needed to fully pay attention to family and friends during time away from the office creates more satisfying, deeper relationships, and allows time at work to be more focused and productive.
