| The Blending of Work and Life June 15th, 2015 by Bill Boyajian |
Work and life are being integrated in new, interesting, and, at times, challenging ways. Part of this is the result of technology, where our fascination, if not addiction, to electronic devices keeps work and life ever-present, blended, and almost indistinguishable. This works well for those who telecommute and operate remotely, where one can use whichever seven days and whatever 24 hours they wish. But what about the majority of people who still work in traditional jobs, where service-mindedness and face-to-face interaction with customers are key responsibilities.
A common beef among employers is how their associates are tethered to their smart phones and using them indiscriminately while at work. It’s understandable. Employers are frustrated with the activity, and are looking for a fair, but realistic solution to what many view as epidemic. Perhaps the biggest concern is the simple lack of awareness of so many employees to the sensible use of their mobile devices. Emergencies aside, most people need to monitor their habit. The blending of work and life has created a whole new generation of thought, and actions. It is our responsibility to be sensitive to it, and to find reasonable solutions to the phenomenon.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
