Work-life balance. In most corporate circles, it’s the sort of phrase that gives hard-charging managers the hives, bringing to mind candlelit meditation(沉思)sessions and—more frustratingly—rows of empty office cubicles(小隔间).
So, what if we renamed work-life balance? Let’s call it something more appealing, something like Make More Money. That might lift heads off desks. A few people might show up at a meeting to discuss that women, and the way we want to work, are extremely good for business.
Let’s start with the female management style. It turns out it’s not soft; it’s profitable. The workplace-research group Catalyst studied 353 Fortune 500 companies and found that those with the most women in senior management had a higher return on equities(资产净值).
Are the women themselves making the difference? Or are these smart firms that make smart moves, like promoting women? There is growing evidence that in today’s marketplace the female management style is not only distinctly different but also essential. Studies from Cambridge University and the University of Pittsburgh suggest that women manage more cautiously than men do. They focus on the long term.
Women are also less competitive, in a good way. They’re consensus builders, and they employ what is called a transformational leadership style—heavily engaged, motivational, extremely well suited for the emerging, less hierarchical workplace. Indeed, when the Chartered Management Institute in the U.K. looked ahead, it saw a work world where the demand for female management skills will be stronger than ever. Women, CMI predicts, will move rapidly up the chain of command, and their emotional-intelligence skills may become ever more essential.
That trend will accelerate with the looming talent shortage. The Employment Policy Foundation estimated that within the next decade there would be a 6 million-person gap between the number of college graduates and the number of college-educated workers needed to cover job growth. And who receives the majority of college and advanced degrees? Women. They also control 83% of all consumer purchases. Forward-looking companies understand they need women to figure out how to market to women.
All that—the female management style, education levels, purchasing power—is already being used, by pioneering women and insightful companies, to create a female-friendly working environment, in which the focus is on results, not on time spent in the office chair. On efficiency, not casual talking. On getting the job done, however that happens best—in a three-day week, at night after the kids go to bed.
What is the influence of the "work-life balance" idea on office staff?
选项
A、They have more meetings to attend.
B、They have fewer meetings to attend.
C、They are reluctant to attend meetings.
D、They are voluntary to attend meetings.
答案
C
解析
第1段说work-life balance这种用语使经理们面对一排排空荡荡的办公室隔间,也就是说员工们都走了,不愿意参加下班后的会议,C正确。
