Become an Employer of Choice!

Your organisation will also enjoy the benefits of implementing a Work/Life Balance program.

Attract your Ideal Candidates

In a competitive labour market, organisations need to be smart about how they attract good candidates to fill vacancies. Today’s employees need more than just job descriptions. Emphasising your company’s culture and work / life balance initiatives will help you reach your ideal employee.

Increased Staff Retention and Reduced Turnover

Factors such as morale and loyalty weigh heavily on whether a prized worker decides to stay or is headhunted by a competitor. Implementing good work / life balance initiatives in the workplace will sustain a vibrant, healthy and passionate workforce and help you retain your valued employees.

What does it really cost to replace a team member? Even in industries with higher than average turnover, it’s easy to underestimate the price your business pays. Direct costs include bookkeeping and running the hiring process, indirect costs include the lack of productivity during vacancy and training the new recruit, and your business also loses intellectual capital. While staff turnover can never be completely eradicated, you can make a positive impact by implementing family-friendly policies and striving for a healthy, happy and supportive workplace.
