<strong>Work</strong>-Life @ <strong>Work</strong><br />
Implementing <strong>Work</strong>-Life Strategy<br />
A comprehensive <strong>Work</strong>-Life strategy is made up <strong>of</strong> two key components:<br />
<strong>Work</strong>-Life infrastructure is the ‘backbone’ <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Work</strong>-Life strategy in an organisation,<br />
and provides a supportive framework for the implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Work</strong>-Life<br />
programmes.<br />
It is characterised by:<br />
■<br />
Inclusion <strong>of</strong> <strong>Work</strong>-Life values in the organisation’s vision and mission<br />
■ Leadership and middle management buy-in to the <strong>Work</strong>-Life message<br />
■ Designated <strong>Work</strong>-Life team/ambassador within organisation<br />
■ Planning and implementation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Work</strong>-Life programmes in a systematic rather than<br />
ad-hoc manner<br />
■ Promotion <strong>of</strong> <strong>Work</strong>-Life practices through clear and consistent communication.<br />
■ Intentional employee engagement on <strong>Work</strong>-Life issues<br />
■ Results-based performance evaluation<br />
■ Continual refinement <strong>of</strong> <strong>Work</strong>-Life practices through employee feedback<br />
<strong>Work</strong>-Life programmes are initiatives put in place by employers to meet the<br />
<strong>Work</strong>-Life needs <strong>of</strong> their employees. These may be informally implemented to<br />
test their viability, before being formalised in the HR policy and communicated to<br />
employees.
