Many try to have success at
work
 and want to spend time with their loved ones. The main
problem
this
 cause is exhausting and most viable solution of
this
problem
 is public awareness warning people about the dangers of working too hard. The principal
problem
 associated with trying to spend time with your loved ones and be a success in your career is people tend to get exhausted.
This
 exhaustion occurs when people both mentally and physically tired to
such
 an extent that they no longer continue. The result of
this
 is often physical and mental health problems, which in turn can cause the breakdown of a family or poor performance at
work
.
For example
, a recent government survey found that 323 CEO’s felt they
do not spend
Suggestion
did not spend
were not spending
 enough quality time with their children because they often felt too tired when they returned home. To tackle
this
problem
 government should launch a publicity campaign in the media and in schools to educate people about
dangers
Suggestion
the dangers
 of working too hard. Many people are afraid to ask their boss for
work
 off due to
stigma
Suggestion
the stigma
 surrounding people who
work
 less than the normal working hours and many people do not disclose
this
problem
 in front of their family.
This
 public awareness campaign could shed some light on
this
 difficult situation and allow people to be more open and honest about it.
For example
, a similar initiative in Japan resulted in 23 decreases in people calling in sick to
work
 because of mental fatigue. In conclusion, striking balance between
work
 and family is a major issue that can result in people working themselves so hard that they can’t perform either role,
however
 it can be addressed through educating people about the dangers.
