Improve your work life balance
--
A better work life balance is what many of us strive for when it seems like there simply aren't enough hours in the day to juggle the various responsibilities and demands on time.
Although many more people have found themselves working from home over the past couple of years, initially due to Covid-19 and lockdown restrictions, it's important to remember that working from home doesn't automatically equal a good work-life balance!
An increased move to flexible/hybrid working will have undoubtedly blurred boundaries for many people, especially if you've been working from your dining table or are always tempted to answer that one last email before you log off.
This 60-minute webinar aims to help you find a healthy and sustainable balance between work and leisure. You'll explore ways to manage that balance so you can be more effective, productive and engaged in all areas of your life, both at home and at work.
What's covered?
- What is work life balance?
- Misconceptions and assumptions of work life balance
- The work life balance equilibrium
- How to use the work life wheel to consider the different areas of your life - and assess what is off balance for you
- Work life balance and the importance of self care

Supercharge your wellbeing

Only available in our webinar library
Developed by a chartered surveyor, this webinar aims to help you supercharge your wellbeing while studying for your APC and throughout your career.

But it's not all about eating healthily or taking vitamins either...
You'll learn:
- Tools and techniques to bring positivity and calm to your working environment
- How to look after your wellbeing while working or studying hard
- Creating a support network to help young professionals deal with the stresses the industry brings
