Work-life balance. Idea versus reality

In an interview with Monika Ciesielska, Robert Olesiński from Dziennik Gazeta Prawna confronts our idea of ​​work-life balance with reality.

Robert Olesińśki: Do employers approach this search for balance with understanding? However, would they prefer the employee to devote himself to the work of the company in an exceptional way?

Monika Ciesielska: Employers expect efficient, not overworked employees. It is more and more often frowned upon if an employee stays at work overtime. The tasks received should be completed during an 8-hour working day, and then the employee should leave the “workplace” and spend time with family, friends, and physical or mental activity, depending on preferences and wishes. In fact, it can be different, but the higher the management level, the greater the emphasis is on the balance between professional and private life. Directors and managers are people who care not only about mental development but also about physical condition. What we do in our spare time will always matter in building and developing a business. Business relationships are best built on the basis of shared passions and interests, e.g. horse riding, aviation, golf or tennis.
