Abstract

Adequate work-life balance for employees has largely being neglected by employers as more and more pressure is put onto employees at workplace. In the current business environment, worklife balance ranks as one of the most important workplace attributes—second only to compensation, according to research conducted by the Corporate Executive Board among more than 50,000 global workers. and employees who feel they have a better work-life balance tend to work harder than those that don‘t. The results prove that WLB practices increase the likelihood of reporting higher job satisfaction and great business performance. Policies that encourage the use of these practices to boost the best for the workforce are justified to result in reportedly happiest moments for employees and employer.
