Abstract
With the advent of globalization, the demands of
workplace are ever-increasing and highly dynamic. Employees
spend more time at the workplace rather than at home.
Although businesses are witnessing new heights, the
work-life balance of the employee is no longer in control.
Growing number of suicides, divorces, disturbed families
and relationships, outrage or conflicts in the organizations,
etc. are the reflections of disturbed work-life balance of
the employees. It is high time employers must draw
out strategies or plan to cope with the problem and help
the employees to enjoy their work and live life to the fullest.
Description
Work-life balance can be
defined as the perfect
integration between work and life both not
interfering with each other. In the current business world, people
and organizations are working round the clock to meet the
ever-growing demands. A slight delay in meeting the schedules or expectations
is considered to be an organizational failure. To avoid delays and
failures, employees are working hard and giving their heart and soul
to achieve work-life balance which is creating an enormous pressure
on them and hence they are forced to finish their jobs irrespective of
time limit.
The most-often used phrase among the employees is "I
don't have time" or "I have a hectic schedule." A day of 24 hours is
no longer enough to perform work-related and personal-related
duties or responsibilities. The problem seems simple but difficult to
solve and handle. Employees who have to play another role of a
daughter/son/spouse/parents are not able to manage their roles.
Observing the day-to-day lives of many employees, two main
issues to be addressed to achieve work-life balance are time and
stress. Managing these two variables is the secret of a perfect work-life
balance.
