5 Ways to Support Work-Life Balance in Your Organisation (Inspired by SD Worx)

In today’s competitive talent landscape, work-life balance is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s a strategic priority. At SD Worx, we’ve made it part of our DNA, not only to attract and retain top talent, but to foster a culture where people thrive. Here are five practical ways organisations can support work-life balance, with examples from our own journey.

Flexibility is one of the most impactful ways to support employees. At SD Worx, we provide a range of options—from flexible hours and part-time roles to short-time working arrangements. We’re also exploring progressive models like the 4-day work week. These structures allow our people to tailor their work to their personal rhythms, resulting in higher engagement and better outcomes.

We’ve introduced a workation policy that allows employees to temporarily work from abroad, within countries where SD Worx has a legal entity. This initiative gives our people the chance to recharge in inspiring environments while staying productive and compliant. It’s a great example of how flexibility can be offered responsibly, balancing personal freedom with operational needs.

Employees are more than their job titles—they’re parents, caregivers, friends, and individuals with unique lives. At SD Worx, we actively support this reality. Our culture encourages open conversations about personal needs, and our policies reflect a deep respect for life outside of work. This approach builds trust and loyalty, and helps our people bring their best selves to work.

We believe that work should support—not compete with—life’s meaningful experiences. Whether it’s being present for a child’s exam or joining colleagues in a different city, our flexible environment makes it possible.

As Karin De Clercq, Talent Acquisition Partner, shares:

“SD Worx is all about balance. I’ve worked from Bergen to support my son during exams, and from Malaga with colleagues. Both were amazing experiences—Berlin is next!”

These moments matter, and we’re proud to help make them happen.

Work-life balance thrives in a culture of trust. At SD Worx, we empower our people to manage their time and responsibilities in ways that work for them. This autonomy fosters accountability, reduces stress, and creates a more resilient workforce. It’s not just about policies—it’s about mindset.

At SD Worx, we don’t just talk about work-life balance—we live it. If you’re looking to create a more flexible, people-first workplace, we’d love to share insights and collaborate. Together, we can build environments where people feel supported, valued, and inspired to grow.
