The Perfect Time of Year to Consider Work-Life Balance

This week, we officially said “goodbye” to summer and ushered in the beginning of fall.
We’re entering the season when cooler temps and shorter days send us increasingly indoors, and we start to turn more of our attention toward home.

This time of year, perhaps more than any other, is the time when we strive the most to find balance between our personal and professional lives, especially as our calendars fill with family gatherings and school functions.
The autumnal equinox, when night and day are of equal length, offers the perfect opportunity to consider just how to strike that balance, and just how important it is, writes Forbes contributor Francis Booth in a recent story:

The autumnal equinox always falls on either the 22nd, 23rd or 24th September. This year, it’s 23rd September. So today, take the chance to think for a while about balance in your life. This could be balance of work and play, balance of activity and rest, or balance in any other aspect of your life …
… When we think about balance, for many of us it’s work-life balance that we’re striving for. In the digital age, when the boundaries around work can blur and shift, we need to be conscious of the pull of digital demands, and the impact this can have on work-life balance …

At Perficient, work-life balance is top of mind year-round. It’s a priority that allows employees to focus on what’s important at home while still maintaining a successful and productive career. Perficient understands that employees need flexibility to handle life’s many demands, and it’s one of the many benefits of working for the company, especially as the race to the end of the year gets underway.
