A better work life balance is what many of us strive for when it seems like there aren't enough hours in the day to juggle your varying responsibilities. Covid-19 has undoubtedly blurred boundaries for many people, especially when we are working from our dining table or are always tempted to answer that one last email before we log off.

Under the aegis of Sushila Birla Girls’ School, a webinar entitled ‘Work Life Balance’ was held online on 13th July, 2021. The speakers, Dr. Era Dutta (Consultant Psychiatrist Life Coach) and Dr. Shumayou Dutta (Orthopedic Spine Surgeon) addressed both emotional and physical issues of teachers working from home for a prolonged period of time due to the pandemic. There was extensive participation by teachers from the host school as well as some teachers of other reputed schools of Kolkata like Lakshmipat Singhania Academy, Shri Shikshayatan School, Birla High School- Moira Street, Birla High School- Mukundapur, Indus Valley World School, Gokhale Memorial Girls’ School.

The webinar helped to find a healthy and sustainable balance between work and leisure and learn about tools and techniques to manage work life balance, allowing to be more effective, productive and engaged in all areas of our life, both at home and at work.
