Research shows work‑life balance improves health for employees aged 50+

Employees who reported a harmonious balance between professional duties and personal life demonstrated better physiological markers and lower reports of anxiety and depression. Dr. Belinda Stephen of the Edinburgh Business School emphasized that beyond the natural changes of ageing, financial worries, family duties, and occupational stress significantly affect sleep. The study advocates for integrating sleep health into corporate wellness programs, recognizing restorative rest as a critical component of overall employee performance.
