How to bring up balance with the boss

Globe and Mail Update

Monday's installment of The Globe's Time to Lead series explains why corporations need to tackle the issue of work-life balance - or risk losing millions of dollars.

But taking actual lunch breaks, working from home, turning the Blackberry off on weekends - it's all easier said than done. How, as an employee, do you negotiate greater flexibility with your boss? And, as a manager, how do you get what you need out of employees in today's economy without wearing them down?

Fiorella Callocchia, president of Mississauga management consulting firm HR Impact, took your questions on how to address such concerns at the office - no matter which rung of the corporate ladder you're on.

The rest of our series on work-life balance can be found here.
