How do you balance life and work?
It is important to keep a healthy work-life balance in order to avoid burnout, and Paycom knows that your personal development is just as important as your professional development. They want to hear that you have effective strategies to balance work and life so that you can show up as your best self each day.
"I find that with the right company, it's pretty simple to balance life and work, which is one of the reasons that I admire Paycom's company culture. It's clear to me that you've put great emphasis on supporting employees to be their best selves and continually develop. When I enjoy what I do it doesn't feel like a chore. I am always sure that when I'm 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."
"I strive to maintain a healthy work-life balance by taking small actions when I come home from work each day. For me this means putting my cell phone away for a while, choosing not to check my emails every hour, and taking some time to spend outdoors. All of these small choices help me to find my balance after a hard day at work."
Speak openly with the interviewer about how you maintain a healthy work-life balance. Stress that while you take your job seriously and see tasks through from start to finish, you can also effectively juggle work with your personal life. No need to get into too much detail about your personal life, however!
