Here’s what I feel aboit this. It depends on where you are and what the penalties are for. Check local laws and consult legal experts before deducting anything from employees’ salaries. Keep employees informed about any deductions. @Moo

Easy! A company can support work-life balance by letting employees work in their pajamas (at least on Fridays!), giving plenty of vacation time for Netflix binges, and throwing in some office naps for good measure. Plus, encourage a “no email after 6 pm” rule to keep work from crashing date nights!

Here’s my 2Cent… I think a company should promote work life balance for all employees. Company’s could plane office retreats, bonus, recognitions and always have paid vacation for employees. This will really boost employees morale and even loyalty.

It is legal to deduct penalties from employees salary as long as they comply with labor regulations and are clearly stated in the employment contract or company policies. Otherwise it isn’t.

Typically, project managers start with entry-level roles like project coordinators or assistants. As they gain experience, they move up to project manager positions, overseeing larger projects or teams.
Some advance to senior project manager or program manager roles, managing multiple projects or departments.
Past employees may have transitioned to roles like director of project management, operations manager, or even executive positions, leveraging their project management skills and experience.

I subscribe to this. All of these perks not only boost morale but also foster loyalty to the company. It’s a win-win for everyone!

I think one way this can be done is if it is encouraged to leave work activity at work. After work hours get home and do you.

I think that the concept of “work-life balance” is not something a company decides for you.
it’s all based on the way you work and how efficiently you carry out your task without it encroaching on your personal life.

Got it! While you make a good point about personal responsibility, companies should also make sure their setup helps employees balance work and life. Factors like workload and company culture can make a big difference. Even if you work efficiently, it’s hard to balance if work keeps spilling into personal time. So, both individual effort and company support matter for a healthy work-life balance.

…then you resume work the next day and the first question your manager has for you is “What’s the update on this particular project?”
How do you want to explain that the request came in some minutes or hours before you tapped out for the day?

While I agree that this is one work culture that boosts team morale, I don’t think it promotes work-life balance.
some people see company hangouts as work, especially for the planning committee. it takes a lot to plan and execute these things

I understand your point, but I believe both personal effort and company support are important for work-life balance.

Sure! Some companies have rules about office dating to keep things professional and avoid problems like favoritism or harassment claims.

Can an Employer sack an employee based on other reasons like looks? If so, would it be with or without a severance pay?
