A STUDY ON WORK LIFE BALANCE AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

One of the biggest challenges in today’s business world for both employees and
organizations is work-life balance. Rapidly growing industries, technological advances, competition, long
hours and different types of employees all put pressure on people to manage their professional and personal
lives. Employees will be expected to meet the goals of their organization while also maintaining their
commitments to family, social relationships and personal health. An imbalance between work life and home
can result in stress, burnout, decreased motivation, absenteeism, decreased productivity, and ultimately,
lower employee performance. Therefore, organizations are starting to understand how important it is to
create good work-life balance policies to improve employee satisfaction and job performance. This research
examines how flexible work schedules, managing load management, leave policies, job stress, support from
their company, support from family members, stress management techniques and the workplace influence
employee production and performance. It also looks at how well employees are able to achieve a balance
between their professional and their personal lives.
