Dubai Knowledge Village event sheds light on work-life balance

This event was held in association with 'Coaching and Mentoring Middle East', a leading services and solutions provider based in Dubai Knowledge Village, a member of TECOM Investments.

According to experts, the right work-life balance in an employee can considerably benefit businesses. These benefits include increased productivity, improved recruitment and retention, lower rates of absenteeism, reduced overheads, an improved customer experience and a more motivated, satisfied and equitable workforce.

Hasan Makansi, Partner Development Manager, Dubai Knowledge Village, said: "Dubai Knowledge Village wanted to highlight challenges to work related issues, which can impede the performance and productivity of the workforce if not adequately addressed.

"As work related stress has been identified as a major health hazard, we joined forces with our business partners, who are experts in this field, to host this event, to raise awareness, identify challenges and provide solutions. The event also featured case studies of companies, vital business issues and steps taken to positively influence the corporate bottom line. The extremely positive turnout indicates a market need for these solutions."
