'Work-life balance' – A personal commitment

SAPO15 September 2026 at 08:00

The concept of "work-life balance" is usually presented as an organizational goal, based on three main pillars: greater schedule flexibility, the right to disconnect from work, and wellness programs aimed at reducing the psychosocial risk of employees.

However, the article argues that organizations cannot achieve this balance on their own. The text defends that promoting a better balance between professional and personal dimensions is also an individual responsibility, not depending exclusively on measures implemented by companies.

Why this matters

This article is relevant for workers seeking to improve their quality of life, warning that they should not depend solely on organizational policies to achieve balance between work and personal life. The message suggests that each individual has an active role in managing their own professional and personal well-being.

Even if the minimum wage in the State rose to 1,030 euros in 2027 it would be "short", says Fesap

The Federation of Public Administration Trade Unions (Fesap) argues that the remuneration base in the public sector should increase beyond 1,030 euros in 2027, considering that this value would still be "short" given workers' needs. General secretary José Abraão argues that the pluriannual agreement in force, which provides for increases of 2.3% (rising from 934.99 to 995.51 euros), was signed in a different economic context and that inflation, potentially above 3%, is causing losses in purchasing power. Fesap will present its claims document for the 2027 State Budget at today's press conference in Lisbon, demanding increases beyond those provided for in the current agreement.
