When you talk about work and life balance, one of the most popular employee benefits is a flexible work schedule. Employees appreciate the opportunity to more effectively manage their life balance with their work responsibilities. Employers also understand the benefit to the business of employees who experience life balance despite working full-time.

Several questions come up regularly when employers discuss flexible work schedules including telecommuting. I have begun answering these questions in a FAQ. If you have questions I haven’t covered, now is a good time to ask; email me and I will answer your questions in the FAQ. But, start with these questions and answers about work and life balance and how to make flexible schedules work.

I’d like to tap you as a resource. In response to sending this article out in my weekend newsletter, I received several notes from readers who told me they were among the many trying to achieve work and life balance. They are looking for ideas about balancing work and life so neither is neglected. You are the source of ideas for readers since you've experienced this challenge, too.

What’s your best tip for obtaining work and life balance?
