Bimbo: Work-Life Balance Workshop
How Can a Work-Life Balance Workshop Improve Quality of Life?
October 2015
OBJECTIVE
Bimbo’s HR department launched this work-life balance workshop as part of their corporate diversity and inclusion initiative. Specifically, the program helps employees harmonize their professional responsibilities with their personal well-being. As a result, participants develop a holistic view of their lives, allowing them to manage multiple roles effectively.
Through this workshop, we focus on:
- Developing a holistic view of the individual.
- Exploring our multiple dimensions and different roles.
- Aligning priorities and core values.
CHALLENGE: A highly diverse team. This open workshop was available to all headquarters employees.
PROGRAM
We divided the workshop content into three distinct parts:
- Part 1: We began the session by establishing the context and setting clear expectations.
- Part 2: Using a practical tool, participants designed a personalized plan to balance their personal and professional lives.
- Part 3: Through an interactive «fishbowl» dynamic, participants shared challenges that hinder their personal and professional growth.
Furthermore, this dynamic fostered a rich debate. Consequently, this discussion helped the company discover new perspectives to enrich Bimbo’s Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) plans.
WHAT DID WE LEARN?
- Practicing emotional intelligence and empathy, while aligning personal needs with corporate goals.
- Understanding key motivators across all personal and professional roles.
- Key skills developed:
- Self-awareness.
- Creative thinking.
- Value identification.
