Industry Project: Work Life Balance

This week’s topic of discussion was on Work Life Balance. Ms Suma explained to us the meaning of Work Life Balance which means a concept including proper prioritizing between career and ambition on one hand, compared with pleasure, leisure etc. Ms Suma gave out a pamphlet on the details of the project on Work Life Balance. Then she went through the details of it to make us more aware of it. It was mainly on what activities our company can come out with to relax the stress of the employees. Inside the pamphlet, all the details were given. After which was break time.
Once we were back from break, Ms Suma instructed us to form a group of four and each make a name card so as to give to the remaining group members. That was the next task for the week which we had to complete and submit to the lecturer.
After this, we watched a video on Life at 30,000 feet by Richard Branson. He is an English industrialist well known for his Virgin brand over 360 companies. He became successful at the age of 16. The names of some of his companies are Virgin Sun, Virgin Spa, Virgin Trains, and Radio Free Virgin etc. He shared his experience on how he manages to run so many companies. His motto of running the company is to motivate the people and bringing out the best in the people. He also designed a space ship and showed a demo of it. It stated that at a high altitude, the people inside the space ship kid of floated and when in the limit of limited, the people were fitted back into their initial places. He also stated that everyone should do something that interests them and not something forcefully. His video and talk had lots of motivation that just encouraged us to work and become a better person. This marked the end of the day.
