Prevention & Promotion
Work Schedule
Employees need the opportunity to seek work-life balance.
- Provide flexibility where possible. If employees come in early so they can leave early to pick up children, they will still be working their total hours, but will be much less stressed.
- Provide choice of scheduling where possible. Given a choice, employees will be much more committed to the schedules they choose.
- Provide stability and predictability of schedules. Not knowing until the last minute and having to rearrange personal lives to suit unpredictable scheduling changes can be extremely stressful.
