Work Life Balance

Introduction
Work-life balance is an ideal situation in which an employee can stabilize their time and energy between the
professional and personal aspects of their life.
Work-life balance is defined as a satisfactory level of involvement between the multiple roles in a person’ life.

In broader sense : Meaningful achievement and enjoyment in all aspects of the person’s life, i.e.

Work,
Family,
Relationships,
Self interest.

A vital factor in achieving a balance is making sure that work does not overwhelm or dominate; and that it does not cause
damage to the individual by way of negative stress

Work-life-Balance Overview :

• It is important to understand that work-life balance

multiple roles in a person’s life.

No, varies from individual to individual and varies over time on a daily basis as well over different phases of
life.
Work-life balance is different for each of us because we all have different priorities and different lives .

personal resources- our time and energy- that we can deploy, to address them.

accommodate other aspects of our lives, while still benefiting the organizations.
