Work Life Balance
Martin
“Work-life balance is about people having a measure of control over when, where and how they work. It is achieved when an individual’s right to a fulfilled life inside and outside work is accepted and respected as the norm – to the mutual benefit of the individual, business and society.”
The Work Foundation
