Hey there today is November 7, 2024. Here in the Philippines, we have a Typhoon. To those constructors in the area where the typhoon is, take care.

In today's edition, we will cover Work-life balance for construction professionals.

Note: I read this article on the happiness index and I tweaked it a bit just to fit construction professionals since this is a newsletter I’ll make it short.

Let's dive in…

SELF IMPROVEMENT

Do you have a work-life balance?

Research conducted by Aviva shows that people have become more focused on work-life balance than salary since the start of the pandemic. Work plays a significant role in our lives. It helps pay bills, put food on the table, and help us on rainy days.

But as a construction professional, do you still balance your life and your work? Meeting project deadlines, full pack work schedule, bringing all that stress you’ve got in your office to your home, and figuring out how you can solve your work problem.

Do you still even have time for your loved ones and most importantly for yourself? These negative aspects of life do not make you happy. They cause stress, which leads to health problems, physically and mentally.

But this might change your life...

You all need to have a work-life balance.

Here are the 3 work-life balance tips for construction professionals like you.

Take a leave

We are humans, not robots. We need time to be happy and being happy can only be achieved if we are away from the things that cause us stress. You deserve to take a break. Taking a leave also gives you time to recharge which makes you more productive when you get back. Taking a leave helps.

Implement short breaks

Short breaks don't mean you stop working. Short means you need to pause to have mental clarity. And once you get back your mind will be full of ideas because it is not stressed anymore.

Ask employee what they are.

To achieve your business's maximum potential you need to ask your employee what they feel. Are they stressed? Are they bombarded with tasks? Do they still have time for themselves? If you know what they feel it’s easy for your business to grow because it helps your employees enjoy their work which leads them to become more productive. It's not only you. You also have employees who deserve to have a work-life balance.

Remember you are a human and you deserve to be happy.
