1CLASSICAL SOCIOLOGY
Introduction
Society, although it’s a seven letter word, it comprises of all the human beings sharing
a similar ideology and cooperating with each other to achieve their quotidian goals. We
cannot live in isolation; we need someone to share our views, cultures, customs, etc. leading
to the formation of a society. Similarly, our workplace shares a society which not only
includes the living beings but also the technologies which helps in making our lives easier
(Den Dulk and Groeneveld 2013). One can never work in a toxic environment as the place
where we work leaves a great impact on both our mind and health. We have a healthy
workplace when people can share their views, communicate with one another properly,
increasing their productivity to achieve a common milestone. Hence, in order to thrive we
need people with similar perspective, ethics, principles to coordinate with one another
establishing a successful society for mankind. The life we lead every day, the deeds we do,
the thoughts we perceive are greatly influenced by the society we live in Our world can only
prosper if we lead our lives based on a healthy Social Infrastructure and contribute to the
development of the Society. In this assignment I would like to illustrate my every day life as
administrative assistant in Swedish Public Employment Service where I have been working
for the past few years.

An Average individual spends most of his time in his workplace associated to the
work he is bestowed to. Hence, a work life balance is very important for our survival. One
can only work effectively and learn new things if he is provided with a satisfactory work
environment (Deery et al. 2018). It is very important for an employee to be aware of the job
assigned to him and the organization he is working in. Emails and Meetings organized by the

Organization helps in maintaining a clarity regarding the various changes happening
around him related to his work and the organization. We are expected to continually enrich
our skills and upgrade ourselves to be successful in achieving our goals. Every Organization
takes measures in order to encourage their employee by organizing regular workshops and
training sessions, so that they can learn and enrich their knowledge and also implement the
same in their work. We live in a competitive world, where we face difficult challenges every
day. Hence, it is very important to note that an individual is appreciated for his contribution
in being an asset to the organization (Haar et al. 2014). Recreational activities, Award
ceremonies, and presents given by the employer on the special days like birthdays,
retirements, etc. indeed makes an individual feel acknowledged and delighted. To maintain a
pleasant work life balance, it is very important to have a well-defined working hour with
proper breaks in between so that we can refresh our self and work more diligently. Usually
we witness a normal working day stretches for eight hours, depending on the amount of the
work the person is expected to complete. At times the organizations provide every employee
with the list of holidays at the beginning of the year so that the employee can plan his
holidays accordingly and manage in providing sufficient time with their family and friends
(Deery and Jago 2015). An important aspect of a desirable work life balance is achieved if we
can maintain an equilibrium in our personal as well as professional life.
Everyday, at any given workplace, it is found that different individuals working
differently. Now, this difference among the individuals' ability to produce different levels of
efficiency everyday, is what helps to make the workplace find growth in a society. Similarly,
the difference of efficiencies among the different workplaces at any given society helps the
particular society to find growth in the world (Isaksson 2018). We know that different
societies comprise the world. Everyday different society finds different levels of growth.
Hence, for the world to maintain its equilibrium, it is very essential to maintain the balance
