Managing household life, termed 'strategic renewal at home,' not only benefits family dynamics but also enhances workplace creativity and adaptability. Proactive changes, such as optimizing childcare routines or redistributing chores, can lead to significant improvements in work performance. A study involving 147 dual-earning couples showed that engagement in domestic renewal correlates with better job performance and a heightened sense of flow at home, illustrating the interconnectedness between home management and professional efficacy.
Our recent study suggests that managing household life – what we call 'strategic renewal at home' – doesn't just benefit family functioning. It also boosts employees' ability to generate ideas, reshape their roles and respond effectively to change at work.
Proactively adapting and reorganising your home life could be a hidden asset for your career. Strategic renewal, typically associated with business transformation, can also apply to people managing life at home.
When people engage in domestic renewal, it creates powerful ripple effects, shaping how they think, feel and perform at work.
Imagine a working parent who streamlines their childcare routine or introduces a new system for managing family meals. These efforts are proactive, forward-thinking moves to adapt to a changing environment.
