ALT Seven plots presented under the title “Work-Life Balance Has a Substantial Impact on Wellbeing”. Subtitle reads: “Impact of each work-life balance factor on job and life satisfaction”. Points with error bars present seven different measures of work-life balance: Allowed to decide how daily work is organised; Allowed to influence policy decisions; Allowed to choose/change pace of work; Worry about work problems when not working; Can decide when to start/finish work; Job prevents you from giving time to partner/family; and Too tired after work to enjoy things like do at home. Measures suggestive of greater autonomy are associated with greater job and life satisfaction, and measures suggestive of poor work-life balance the inverse. Freedom to decide when to start or finish work is associated with a small decrease in both. The source of the chart is Figure 7.5 of the book Why Workplace Wellbeing Matters by Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and George Ward, of which a full citation is provided.

ALT Text reads 'Tips for preventing burnout' '#WorkLifeWeek' 'Self-awareness: Regularly reflect on your feelings, emotions, and stress levels. If you notice persistent exhaustion or irritability, it may be an early sign of burnout.' 'Set boundaries: Establish clear boundaries between work, personal life, and downtime. Avoid overextending yourself by saying "no" when necessary.' 'Time management: Efficiently manage your time and workload. Break tasks into manageable chunks, set realistic goals, and use time management techniques to ensure you start and finish work on time.' 'Seek support: Don't hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or a support service if you feel overwhelmed. Sharing your feelings and experiences can provide emotional support and helpful perspectives.' 'Self-care: Prioritise self-care practices and engage in activities such as exercise, meditation, hobbies, or spending time with loved ones. Self-care is essential for maintaining mental resilience.'
