How to Create a Healthy Work-Life Balance at Your Company
Depending on the nature of the company you work for, creating and maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be extremely difficult. When you work on the clock and have set hours, it’s a bit easier to mentally separate time at work and time for yourself.

While management is more focused on developing practices that increase productivity and profit, Human Resources is often dedicated to employee well-being.

You know that “warm glow” you feel when you demonstrate an act of kindness without expecting anything in return?
