Assessing Work-Life Balance
We are sharing some tools to
support personal growth, relationship health, organizational development, and
overall effectiveness for mission/aid workers. Hopefully you will find them to
be creative, useful, and at times even fun. They are some of our favourites.
.
These items build upon the 12
tools for “Running Well and
Resting Well”
that we included as a chapter in Doing
Member Care Well (2002). More tools and guidelines specifically for team
building are included in our “Tools for Team
Viability”
article, in the member care book we edited in 1992.
