Finding Balance in Work & Life

Our latest DIAMOND Empower poll asked: What do you believe would help achieve a better work-life balance for you?


The poll is closed, and here are the final results:

  • Flexibility in work hours ~ 37%
  • Reduced weekly hours ~ 30%
  • Supportive work culture ~ 27%
  • Clear personal boundaries ~ 7%

The strong preference for time-related solutions echoes what European research highlights:

⇒ Eurofound notes that “working hours have a direct bearing on standard of living, work–life balance and the overall sustainability of working life” (Eurofound).

⇒ And the European Economic and Social Committee confirms that “appropriate working-time arrangements can make enterprises more sustainable and improve their productivity… [and] have the greatest impact on people’s quality of life (well-being)” (EESC).

These insights mirror what we explore in DIAMOND: how working conditions, social innovations, and policies can shape not just jobs, but the way people live, learn, and grow.
