Hi everybody.
What do you think about the work-life balance for everyone during and after the pandemic? to what extent this balance is impacted? how can everyone master this balance when working remotely for example?
What about managers and entrepreneurs' WLbalance?
I think the balance might be impacted if not properly managed. With the covid pandemic, more people are working from home and if they are not disciplined and organised enough they could tilt the balance. Some could overwork, while others might not be able to get anything done.
The Pandemic has forced us to work in a environment of social distancing, protect yourself as well as others .i think this we have to follow ever after the pandemic is gone(?)
secondly we should get used to the working habit like work from home,online meetings,online classes ,online job .some agencies like Twitter are already promoting Work from home .There is chance that now we have increased online job market
as a whole it seems it will change our life-style.
Hi Wassim J. ALOULOU
I think instead of work-life balance (WLB) as main issue, people would have other issues such as worry about source of income, job insecurity, risk of infection etc. as their main concern. (Just a thought!)
As far as WLB is considered, I guess if normalcy is assumed people would most likely prefer going back to office and do their job instead of working from home (WFH). WFH has not been so convenient as it was thought to be. Without proper work setting, people find it difficult to focus on their work. With respect to WLB, I feel people have got much more time to long denied need to pay attention to family. They are getting time to spend with family though in a restricted way.

On the other hand, the epidemic has stimulated distance learning and the consequent use of electronic devices all of the time inside and outside the college, creating a kind of pressure among academics. Tele- pressure that affects the balance of working life for them and does not allow time for recovery, as we must at all time of the day and night respond to our e-mail and our messages, and whats ap ....... between us and the managers, students
There was no.balance before pandemic, and with pandemic, new challenges, uncertainty is the part of every aspect of life; hope Insh Allah everything will be fine soon
Work-life balance is an integral and important part of a healthy lifestyle. To achieve that during and after the pandemic, one should identify potential problems/challenges/shortcomings that he/she might face and set-up a plan that is tailored and works best for both of his personal and professional life.
Wassim, given the current situation where staff who are still lucky to be employed by their organisations/businesses have been asked to work from home/remotely due to the crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic, there are some potential consequences on the balance between life and work. The situation implies that work places have now shifted from their traditional places to homes, garages, gardens etc. Therefore, there is already a blurring of the boundaries, if they ever existed in the first place, between our perspective of work and life. Interesting stuff.

The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic has resulted in an increase in remote work from home due to quarantine. In such a situation, you can optimize your professional and private life. However, it is not easy, even despite the time savings in commuting.
