This article focuses on work-life balance as a theme of papers on training and development. The lack of work-life balance has taken its toll in stress-related health problems (and costs) and in personal relationships with families, partners, and even friends. Vicki Powers's article " Keeping Work and Life in Balance" shows how companies can support and even foster work-life balance for employees and still be productive and profitable. "The Need for Reflection" by Aviv Shahar addresses burnout and renewal.
