Nikhil Kumar

Abstract :

Work Life balance is fundamental for all organizations in order to ensure continued association and retention of employees. It is a comprehensive program which is intended to increase employee’s satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to determine the significant causes, symptoms and impact of Work Life imbalance and to propose strategies which help to improve the Work Life balance in organizations based on its findings. Based on an intensive review of literature key drivers which affect the Work Life balance in an organization is identified. Technology has been believed to be “a double–edged sword”. It was observed that the technological innovations that were originally designed to facilitate the issues at professional and personal levels failed to reduce the strain efficiently, and instead led people to plan additional activities and acknowledge more obligations. In an era of dynamic technology, to ensure personal growth in a particular workplace it is a necessity to keep knowledge and skills updated. While new skills and demands are an essential requisite for employees, they have their consequent implications which includes increased work burden, stress and social pressure that may eventually lead to psychosocial problems, work–family conflict , higher pressure for performance/efficiency and less privacy as well as dissatisfaction at work and turnover. Moreover, employees are often required to meet higher expectations with respect to their efficiency levels.
