To help managers do a better job of supporting their employees’ efforts to achieve a healthier work-life balance, here are four tips to consider –

1. Know what your employees are striving for.Not everyone has the same work-life balance goals. Talk to each employee about their objectives, and then determine what you can do to help them. Some employees may benefit from working remotely a couple days each week, while others may prefer altering their daily work schedule. It’s important to be open-minded and flexible.
2. Set a good example.Your employees follow your lead. If you send emails at all hours of the day and night or work hard on the weekends, you staff thinks that is what is expected of them, too.
3. Let employees know what their options are.While employers typically do a good job of highlighting their work-life balance offerings to prospective job candidates, the same can’t be said for communicating those initiatives to current employees. Regularly discuss with your employees the options that are available to them. Also, sit down with soon-to-be parents and discuss parental leave options.
4. Stay at the forefront.It is important to keep ahead of the curve on emerging work-life balance trends. What works today for employees might not be a good fit a year from now. Keep your work-life balance initiatives fresh, and offer in-demand benefits. Plus, consider offering work-life programs.
