QUESTION 24 OF 35

We strive to help our employees create a healthy work/life balance at Danone. How do you balance life and work?

Danone cares about their employees. They've built their entire culture around this. Exhibiting a drive to work hard is one thing, but ensuring your performance level is sustainable requires balance. It can be challenging to balance your work with the rest of your life, even in healthy work culture. Explain how you balance both spheres and maintain your motivation and interests in your field. It's one thing to say you aren't burned out. It's another thing to convince them you look forward to coming to work as much as you look forward to your time off.

"I am methodical about my work and my schedule. I set reminders on my calendar to stay organized and on time, relying on my google calendar and my to-do list. I make sure I can make it to soccer practice each week so that I can play in the games on the weekends."

"I find that, with the right company, it's pretty simple to balance life and work. The work doesn't feel like a chore when I enjoy what I do. I am always sure that when at home, my family gets my attention first. I take time on the weekends to do things for myself and ensure that I regenerate before the work week begins."

Anonymous Answer

I try to be organised in order to remain on schedule. If not, I would prioritise urgent matters and allow myself time for unwinding.

Rachelle's Feedback

It seems that good organization is the key to your balance. Try answering with more detail, even taking the interviewer through the steps that you take, to organize and prioritize your work in a way that allows for this healthy balance.
