Increased Staff Retention and Reduced Turnover – An organisation’s need to attract and retain valued employees in a competitive labour market is a strong motivating factor for increased organisational awareness and action with regard to human resource policies and practices that address work / life balance.  Factors such as morale and loyalty weigh heavily in whether a prized worker decides to stay or is headhunted by a competitor.

Today's employees need more than job descriptions.  Emphasizing your company's culture will help you reach your ideal candidate.

What does it really cost to replace a team member?  According to a report by the Commonwealth of Australia, (Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency, September 2002), it costs $150-200,000 to replace a lawyer, while for a bank teller it’s $30,000.  These costs are very significant, and often not considered.  For employers of choice, measuring staff turnover plays a vital part in attracting and retaining good people - a cost which increases exponentially with the seniority and skills of higher-paid staff.  While staff turnover can never be completely eradicated, you can make a definite positive impact by implementing family-friendly policies and striving for a healthy, happy and supportive workplace.

Encourages Work / Life Balance (WLB) & Integration – Also known as Quality of Work Life (QWL), this is an issue increasingly recognised as being of strategic importance to organisations and of significance to employees.  During a strong economic climate, an organisation’s need to attract and retain valued employees in a competitive labour market is a strong motivating factor for increased organisational awareness and action with regard to human resource policies and practices that address work / life balance.

The most common complaint among stressed-out, drained workers is that "there's not enough time for me - or the things that are important to me."  Balancing a full private life with a hectic work schedule is an exercise in priorities and personal management.  Work / Life Balance is an important area of human resource management that is receiving increasing attention from government, researchers, management and employee representatives and the popular media.  Talk to HSG about how we can provide you with a range of options that assist in meeting your employees’ work / life balance needs.
