5 ways to pep your team’s work-life balance

1. Leaving on a Jet Plane? The simplest thing you can do is put up some posters in the office with a tag-line that promotes taking a holiday like "when did you last have a holiday?" or some quiet time with yourself. We have a picture of the Maldives island :-)

2. Encourage Family/Friend Time: It's really important and healthy to spend quality time with their friends or family. Send out an email about how you had a great time with your spouse, kids or friends and tell them it's time they set their dates with their loved ones.

3. Encourage Hobbies: Make a ‘hobby list', where team members can write their own hobbies or take note of other people's hobbies. This recognition will encourage people to pursue their non-work interests - something that will get their mind away from just work (obviously, during their non-work hours!). How about organizing a hobby workshop on Fridays?

4. Simplify Work: Take a look at the various procedures followed by the team and simplify them by using web apps (some of them are mentioned in our blog post) or do away with unnecessary technicalities. This way the work will be simple and people can get things done quickly, without hassle and complication.

5. Increase Team Building Activities: Team bonding can help integrate work with life, where coworkers have open conversations, thus avoiding conflict at work.
