"Life is too short to dismiss its seriousness, but too long to bear without moments of lightness and joy."

The 6 Dimensions of the EVPT
When companies understand the economic value of their employees’ personal time — essentially treating people’s non-work hours as valuable resources — it changes how they manage workload, policies, and culture.
The benefits aren’t just about being “nice”; they’re measurable in performance, retention, and profitability.

ECONOMIC VALUE OF PERSONAL TIME (EVPT)

EVPT it's not just a financial tool. It's a way to honestly quantify the true cost of every hour you decide to invest, give away, trade, or protect. We live surrounded by productivity advice, social norms that value work more than rest, cultures that glorify sacrifice and minimize personal well-being. But this formula proposes the opposite: putting a price on the intangible, not to commoditize it, but to protect it. Time isn't infinite. Your life isn't interchangeable. And your personal history—with your age, your relationships, your health, your needs, and your dreams—deserves a metric that respects it.

This formula can help individuals and corporations to make better decisions: reject low-paying jobs, prioritize your health, value your rest, understand your emotional burden, and above all, remember that every hour that passes is an investment or a loss that no one else can calculate for you.

OUR 9 REASONS TO USE THE EVPT AS A DRIVER OF WORK-LIFE BALANCE

#1

HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY

Well-rested employees can focus better, make fewer mistakes, and solve problems faster. Fatigue-related productivity loss can be more expensive than paying for extra staffing or better tools.

REDUCED BURNOUT & TURNOVER

Recognizing that employees’ time outside work is valuable helps avoid chronic overtime. Lower burnout means less attrition, which saves on recruitment, onboarding, and lost expertise.

TALENT ATTRACTION

Job candidates increasingly weigh work-life balance heavily in their decisions. Companies that value personal time become more competitive in attracting high-skill talent.

#4

IMPROVED DECISION QUALITY

Overworked staff make poorer strategic and operational decisions. Protecting personal time preserves mental clarity, leading to better outcomes.

INCREASED EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

When workers see that leadership respects their time, they tend to reciprocate with higher commitment and discretionary effort during work.

SUSTAINABLE PACE OF INNOVATION

Innovation requires creativity, which benefits from mental downtime. Employees with personal time for hobbies, reflection, and learning bring fresher ideas.

#6

POSITIVE EMPLOYER BRANDING

Word spreads quickly when a company protects personal time, making the brand more attractive to both customers and prospective employees.

LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE BENEFITS

In many jurisdictions, overwork can expose companies to labor law penalties. Valuing personal time reduces legal risk.

LONG TERM FINANCIAL $

While respecting personal time might mean fewer hours worked, it often results in higher value per hour, which is a more sustainable profitability driver than raw hours.
