Anonymous Design Studio Pty Ltd - Landscape Architecture Design Studio
We are a team of 4 Landscape Architects based in Melbourne. We do boutique landscape design around the world. Majority of our work are overseas such as le resort islands, residential town housing and small amount of public spaces.
This study is based on the way we work as a team dealing with work life-balance and eustress and distress. In many cases designers often have low resources dealing with high intensity workload. We often have to work overtime, or hire in temporary drafters to cope with the workload. Salary based employment contract stated the contact hours are five days per-week, eight hours per-day, total of forty contact hours per-week. Our actual non-standard working hour is between fifty to seventy hours per-week, equivalent to an average of twelve hours per-day. In a typical twenty-four hours scenario, take away the twelve hours of working time and eight hours for sleeping, we are left with four hours of personal time.
In an arrangement of the study background, it begs the question on how do we manage work-life balance and how do we deal with eustress and distress in workplace. This report will uncover how to manage work-life balance working in a high intense environment. Furthermore, discuss on how to turn distress into eustress and boost work performance.
