Over the past few months ADCE (Attercliffe and Darnall Community Enterprises Ltd) has looked at its own practices and what staff need, and put some good ‘Work–Life Balance’ into practice. It is also producing a work–life balance toolkit taking into account the diversity of ethnic backgrounds, faiths and cultures in its workforce and the local area.
Getting work–life balance correct in your workforce can have very positive and worthwhile effects. It can lower stress levels and sickness of staff, raise employees’ self esteem and lower absenteeism, raise motivation and commitment to work and secure loyalty to the employer.
ADCE now hopes to share what they have learned and will be able to train managers from local organisations, community groups and businesses. The training looks at how to retain staff who have other arrangements outside of work to manage. The toolkit will be available for organisations to help them understand and work towards better working practises.
If you would like information about free training and the toolkit please contact ADCE at 546 Attercliffe Road, S9 3QP, tel: 249 4111, email: jean@adce-joblink.org.uk.
