The scope of the current study is to determine the challenges of employees in between work-life and personal life balance. Organizations should prioritize and maintain employees’ work-life balance. Work-life balance refers to the equilibrium between an employee's work responsibilities and their personal life, including family, hobbies, and personal well-being. When employees have a healthy work-life balance, they experience less stress and improve their working skills to achieve the targets, and this well-being leads to improved mental and physical health as well as work productivity. This descriptive research approach surveyed by 67 responses as simple random technique, provides a significant result toward organizations that they should maintain employee’s work-life balance. The research finds that organizations that prioritize work-life balance are more likely to attract and retain top talent. By the managing time, regular assessment and adjustment in work-life balance initiatives, organizations can enhance their employer brand and improve employee retention rates. Work-life balance allows employees to have time for personal pursuits and interests outside of work which can contribute to their creativity and innovation. When employees have a healthy work-life balance, they are more likely to have positive relationships with their colleagues and supervisors. Improved relationships can lead to better teamwork, collaboration, and a more positive work environment.
KEYWORDS:
