I'm Glad I spent More Time at Work!

On the 7th of May, the Worklife Company launched a new book entitled "I'm Glad I Spent More Time at Work! - An A to Z of Worklife Balance for Organisations. It is the first in a series of 3; the second is for individuals and the third for women (all proceeds to charities of our choice).

I'm Glad I Spent More Time at Work! Is a new business approach for a new era.. The world of work is changing and unless leaders embrace the new and emerging trends, their businesses may not survive the war for talent.

This A to Z of provides practical tips, techniques and ideas for making your organisation a great place to work. Old style leadership methods are no longer appropriate and organisations need to change (and change fast) if they want to attract and retain the best. This book provides pragmatic ideas for doing just that!
It is written by Lynne Copp, Managing Director of The Worklife Company. Lynne is a leader with extensive experience in people development and diversity (inclusion) across a wide range of organisations and industries. She is passionate about releasing potential of people and businesses through effective leadership, communication, culture and inclusion. She has an amazing track record of leading culture change that drives business improvement, talent attraction and retention. She is a pragmatic and motivational leader who not only creates inspiration for change, but delivers solutions relevant to the business and people environment. She fully embraces a strengths based approach to people development and employment; she says "people come to work to do a good job and if they are given the right environment, trust and choice, they will achieve great things".
If you want to make your company into one that is worth working for and staying with, then buy this little gem!

The Sense of Worklife Balance Wheel	How balanced is your work and life? Do you have a sense of work not being as fulfilling as it should? Is life a fading memory? What are your goals? What are your ambitions? This tool is just one from our CHOICES Career Programme. When did you last look at your career in relation to your life, your ambitions and your dreams?
Maternity Timeline	A simple maternity timeline that may help to summarise the current UK law - it will be updated to reflect current legislation and of course it does not reflect some of the generous policies that some employers provide.
Flexible Working Matrix	This matrix provides an overview of the most common patterns, the benefit to the organisation, the benefit to the employee and things to consider. To download this overview, click on the button below
Business Link Guide to the Benefits of Flexible Working	This guide is useful if you are looking at more options for flexible working as it defines all the most common ones. Particularly useful for small businesses, but do be aware that the laws have and are about to change, so keep up to date!

Full quizzes can be designed and are a fun way to facilitate understanding of the business case for flexibility with your management!
Red Flag	Manage your interruptions with this red flag. Just print it off and when you have an important deadline, or don't want to be disturbed for a while, put the red flag up on your desk for all your colleagues to see. When you've finished, take it down as a signal that you are happy to be disturbed. This is particularly useful in an open plan environment. Print them off for everyone and watch how it reduces interruptions! Proven to work!
Rocks and Pebbles	This is a lovely story to tell your team at meetings - especially if they are prone to working long hours and not taking time for their life. We all have to work long hours sometimes, but this lovely story gives permission to employees to live a little too!
Working From Home SkillSheet	Working from home has proven to be beneficial as interruptions are less and employees are more productive! This is just one of a series of SkillSheets that we have produced on all the flexible working options. This one is FREE to download. If you would like to purchase any others in the series, then please contact us for details.
Measuring Worklife Balance	There are lots of ways to measure the impact of worklife balance initiatives - some are internal to the organisation and some external. This short guide gives you an overview and provides tips and things to consider
