A STUDY ON WORK LIFE BALANCE OF EMPLOYEES
Work-life balance is an important aspect that influences the overall well-being, job satisfaction, and productivity of employees in an organization. In today’s competitive working environment, employees often experience stress due to workload, long working hours, and difficulty in managing personal and professional responsibilities. This study focuses on analyzing the work-life balance of employees and its impact on their performance and satisfaction in the organization.
The main objective of the study is to understand the level of balance maintained by employees between their work and personal life, identify the factors affecting work-life balance, and examine the measures adopted by the organization to support employees. The study also aims to evaluate how work-life balance contributes to employee motivation, efficiency, and organizational growth.
The research is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed among employees, while secondary data were gathered from journals, books, websites, and previous research studies related to work-life balance. Simple percentage analysis and graphical representation are used for interpreting the data collected from respondents.
The findings of the study reveal that maintaining a healthy work-life balance improves employee morale, reduces stress, increases productivity, and creates a positive work environment. The study concludes that organizations should implement effective policies such as flexible working hours, employee welfare programs, leave facilities, and stress management initiatives to enhance employee satisfaction and organizational performance.
