The way we work impacts how much leisure time we have and how well we can enjoy that leisure time.

Jessper Maquindang is the founder of Familead Consulting a specialist in improving employee productivity and engagement.

The expression is, work life balance, but many people believe that the order should be reversed, life work balance. This they argue is because life is more important than work.

They may be correct, but Jessper Maquindang argues that without a strong work life it is very difficult to have a good life.
