Work-life balance is a concept that refers to an employee’s efforts of splitting their time and energy between work and the other vital aspects of their lives.

It’s a daily effort to make time for family, friends, community participation, religiousness, personal growth, self-care, and other personal activities, in addition to the demands of the workplace.

Finding the balance between work and your personal life reduces the stress employees experience.

2. Work smarter not harder – find the more productive way to day to day projects

4. Set manageable goals daily
5. Communicate effectively
