这篇的文章又变难了，主要还是长句子比较多，听一遍的复述难度比较大，听多了就成了背诵。

Main Benefits

主要利益


Work-life balance can benefit a company as much as its employees. Here are some ways in which a satisfied workforce can help its employer.
工作生活平衡能利益一个公司同样也能给公司的职员带来好处。下面是一个满意的员工可以帮助到雇主的一些方法。

Reduced turnover: Turnover refers to the rate at which employees leave and are replaced at a company. When employees are happy at work, they are unlikely to leave so a turnover will be low. The higher the company’s turnover rate, the more new employees it will need to train, which can be expensive and time-consuming.
缩减的人员调整率：人员调整率指的是职员离职或者在公司里被取代的比率。当职员在工作中感到快乐时，他们不大可能离职，所以人员调整率将会是低的。公司的人员调整率越高，需要培训的新员工就会越多，这会是昂贵的并且耗时的。

Word-of-mouth referrals: Employees who like where they work are likely to refer people to open positions within the company. Word-of-mouth referrals can lower the cost spent on the recruitment agency to hire employees.
口碑推荐：喜欢他们工作地方的职员们很有可能让人们参考公司内部开放的职位。口碑推荐能降低招聘部门招聘职员的成本

Reduce stress and absences: When employees have been overworked, they often become stressed. Over time, stress can cause employees to burn out or get sick, which decreases productivity. By supporting work-life balance, a company can reduce stress and absences due to illness or fatigue.
减少压力和缺勤：当职员们已经劳累过度了，他们会经常感到压力。加班、压力会导致职员们筋疲力尽或者生病，这样就会降低生产率。通过支持工作生活平衡，公司能减少因为生病或者疲劳导致的压力和缺勤。

Positive brand reputation: People want to work for companies that treat them well. A business that has a reputation for work-life balance will likely be attractive to top talent. But a business that is known for having a poor work culture could have trouble hiring talented employees. An investment to an employee is an investment to a company’s future. Focusing on work-life balance can reduce a company’s costs, improve its reputation and increase its productivity.
正面的品牌声誉：人们想去那些对他们好的公司工作。一个有工作生活平衡的好声誉的公司，将很可能吸引顶尖人才。但是因有着糟糕工作文化的公司可能很难找到顶尖的雇员。对职员的投资就是对公司未来的投资。关注工作生活平衡能降低公司的成本，提升公司的声誉，提高生产效率。
