What are your employees saying about their work-life balance?

Microsoft is doing some things to hear what their employees are thinking and saying.  But they are also spreading the word about it.  Check this out.

What would your employees say if they were asked?  Do you cringe at the thought?

Well... obviously... Microsoft has done some things to adapt and strengthen opportunities for balance.  How about you?

How do your employees think you are doing?

So... why not ask? 

See how you are doing.  Then keep going.  Why not ask what could be improved?  You know... go right to the source and ask what they'd like to see.

You may not be able to do everything that's asked of you... but studies have shown... especially with the newest workforce... the Millennials... that an increase in work-life balance leads to an increase in employee loyalty and retention.

By the way... why do you think Microsoft made this video?  Do you think things like this have helped them to entice some of the best of the best to come to the great Northwest? 

How could you apply some of the same concepts to draw the best to your company... and then keep them there?
