Mutual Trust & Respect The Key To A Healthy Work/Life Balance

by Rick Frauton / Aug 12

All employer/ employee relationships should be founded on a mutual trust and respect. If the work that is delegated to the employee is of any importance it should be clear to all parties concerned at the end of the week whether or not that work has been completed. Further, it is the employee’s responsibility to exhibit progress on mutually agreed-upon goals to employers and clients on a regular basis.

With regards to maintaining a healthy balance of work and personal life, this is also the sole responsibility of the employee. If the work-load becomes overwhelming, the employee should communicate this to the rest of the team. If the work being produced is lacking, however, it becomes the responsibility of the employer to raise this issue with the employee. Beyond that, ‘supervision’ should be reserved for children and adults with special needs. Therefore, mobile workers must consistently manage their time and work-load effectively, and regularly communicate progress to all parties concerned.
