Redefining Work-Life Balance: Smart Mobility & Health
03.02.2023
The work landscape reflects the transformation of society following the pandemic and the momentum of
smart technologies, which are redefining existing dynamics. In this context, people's mobility assumes a
central role, especially considering the climate challenges and environmental objectives set by
international agreements.
The experience gained from remote work has partially redefined the traditional concept of the workplace
and its management, paving the way for a reflection on necessary modes of transportation. The ability to
organize work methods and schedules provides an opportunity to enhance quality and productivity during
commutes between home and work.
We should avoid reverting to the old and unhealthy habit of being passive within automobiles during
commutes. Instead, both companies and employees should aim for a new model of "Smart life working,"
which includes a healthy lifestyle even during daily commutes to the workplace. Encouraging dynamic
modes of transportation, such as carpooling or shuttles, and utilizing public transportation like
trains, buses, or boats not only reduces traffic congestion but also provides quality time for oneself,
often resulting in personal and professional benefits.
Promoting and pursuing a happy balance between work and life should be a shared effort by both companies
and employees striving for success and improving their quality of life.
"Promoting a happy balance between work and life is crucial for the success and well-being of both companies and employees."
