February 27, 2012 Balancing Act: #CommsChat with Jonathan Bean, 27 February

Tonight on #CommsChat, we’re going to be joined by Jonathan Bean, COO of Mynewsdesk, to discuss work-life balance in the PR and comms industry.

Social media in particular complicates the issue of maintaining a good work level balance – there’s some interesting background reading on the topic here, here, here, here, and here.

We’ll be kicking off at 8pm (after Jonathan – carefully maintaining his own work-life balance – puts his kids to bed) and the chat will last for about an hour. Join in here or by adding the #commschat tag to your tweets. As ever, if you can’t join us a transcript will be available to download tomorrow.

– Has social media made healthy work-life balance in PR and comms impossible?
– Is work-life balance a question of setting the right example for staff as well as issuing guidelines?
– Is there a way that social and digital connectivity can help us to create better balance in our working lives?
– What guidelines do you adopt when it comes to drawing an online line between co-workers and friends?
– Are there simple ways for everyone to create better balance? Or does it need to be embedded in a company’s culture?
