How working parents can create better work-life balance
Many working parents struggle to main tain a healthy balance between their respon sibilities at work and their obligations to their families. An inability to maintain that healthy balance can have adverse effects on men and women’s careers as well as the relationships they have with their families.
A 2015 survey of more than 2,000 adults commissioned by the workplace solution provider Workfront found that 38 percent of survey participants have missed life events because of a bad work-life balance. Access to technology that means work is never too far away might contribute to poor work-life balance, as 57 percent of respondents also ac knowledged feeling that technology has ru ined the definition of a family dinner.

Finding a healthy balance between work and life at home may require a concerted ef fort on the part of working parents, but there are ways to successfully juggle a career and family.
set reasonable goals
Much of the difficulty men and women experience in regard to finding a healthy work-life balance may be a byproduct of
working parents spreading themselves too thin. Setting reasonable goals can help avoid that, but doing so requires taking commit ments to one’s employer and family into consideration before agreeing to take on new projects or setting deadlines for proj ects to be completed. This should be applied to both work and home. If a work deadline is unreasonable, professionals should dis cuss that with their employers, who might change the deadline or arrange for extra persons to work on the project. At home, parents should avoid taking on too many
projects, such as chaperoning a child’s dance or coaching a sports team, if doing so will adversely affect the amount of time they get to spend with their families.
looK for ways to be more efficient
Interactions with coworkers can make work more enjoyable, but working parents should not spend too much time shooting the breeze with their fellow employees. Doing so wastes time and only contrib utes to work-related stress. Commuters
who don’t drive themselves to work can be more efficient by using their commutes to read emails, arrange meetings or catch up on projects. Doing so allows for more time to get work done while in the office, which can make it easier to go home on time.
request changes to worK scheDules
While technology may have largely eliminated the separation between the of fice and home, working parents can use that to their advantage by asking their employees to alter their work schedules. Telecommuting one or two days a week can help parents feel more connected to their families, while flex schedules can ensure working parents don’t miss any of their children’s dance recitals or weekday afternoon ballgames.
unplug when you get home
Perhaps the simplest and most effective way for parents to regain a healthy worklife balance is to unplug their devices. Employing “Do not disturb” settings on smartphones and turning off tablets can ensure parents don’t spend their time at home working but connecting with their families.
Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is no small task for today’s working parents. But such a goal is possible. ●
Metro CreativeTips to land a job whether you are 20 or 60
If you know where to look, there are nu merous opportunities in today’s job market, whether you are a new graduate, seasoned professional or retiree looking to go back to work. Here are some tips to help you have an edge in your job applications.
Know what you want
It seems obvious, but you’d be surprised at how many job seekers go into their inter views without a clear vision of what they are
looking for in a prospective position. Do your homework beforehand and think about what you’re good at. It’s important to come to your interviews genuinely prepared to answer questions such as “Why are you interested in this industry?” and “What makes you right for this position?”
Do some volunteer worK
Pick a cause that interests you and take on a new volunteer gig. It’s a great
way to build up your resume, and there are very few organizations that will turn you down. You never know who you might meet and what doors could open.
speaK up
Let people know you’re on the hunt for a new job. Some of the best positions often aren’t promoted online, so it’s a good idea to ask friends, family and coworkers from past
jobs if they can connect you to someone who is hiring.
looK for growing inDustries
Don’t limit your options — look into indus tries that are actually hiring. Did you know that the food and beverage processing sector in Ontario is the largest manufacturing em ployer in the province? The industry has set a goal to create 60,000 new jobs by 2020. ●
