Work-life balance at CREC Coworking Barcelona and Sabadell

Nowadays it can be complicated to lead a life in which the amount of time you dedicate to work is the same as the amount of time you dedicate to your private life. In CREC Coworking Barcelona and Sabadell we know that this frenetic pace in which we live today, makes the conciliation becomes a primary objective to lead a stable and balanced life.

The reconciliation between work and family life is often one of the most difficult aspects to deal with, and to apply, for working people with children. For this reason, our work model is flexible and adapts at all times to those who need it.

“Work-life balance means equal opportunities and development in employment and in private life”

 

What is work-life balance?

 

This conciliation implies that workers have the possibility of claiming the harmonization of their personal and family life with the development of their professional life, without the two being in conflict.

The objective to be achieved by reconciling both aspects is that the person can maintain a fruitful professional career and exercise their right to care for their own family, as well as their free time, without this causing stress or affecting their work in the office.

 

Having sons and daughters should not be seen as a negative when entering the job market, and having a family should not negatively affect your ability to grow in your job. In addition, children have the right to be cared for by their parents and parents have the right, and the duty, to do so.

Work-life balance means equal opportunities and development in employment and in private life, being able to guarantee the fulfillment of care needs.

 

“When a worker is at ease in his job, they become more productive”

 

How can a company ensure that work-life balance will be effective?

 

For companies, the satisfaction of their employees has to be an essential point in their strategy. It leads to better performance and makes people more connected to their work and more involved, as it is not a stress or a problem for them.

Work-life balance is a key point in the foundations of a company, since it must implement measures to promote the satisfaction of its employees and commit to comply with them.

To this end, companies can apply different methods to facilitate work-life balance for their employees, such as:

• Facilities to manage their personal lives
• Offering the possibility of working from home
• Flexible working hours

 

When a worker is at ease in his job, they become more productive.

How does CREC Coworking Barcelona work on work-life balance?

 

In our coworking spaces we always try to make our coworkers feel very comfortable from the first moment. From the moment they enter our spaces we take an interest in their projects, in themselves, we conduct CREC Connect interviews,…. We make them feel part of the community. 

For CREC Coworking Barcelona, conciliation is something basic that must be applied to all the people who come to our spaces to work. People are the engine that makes CREC work, and therefore we strive to be flexible and understand the personal and work situation of each coworker. 

Both entrepreneurs and workers who have already been working on their projects for some time deserve to have schedules adapted to them, so the work model proposed by coworking is what best suits them. An open space where they can increase their network of contacts, where they can propose things and where they will always feel comfortable and supported.
