INTRODUCTION
Work-life balance relates to an individual’s amount of prioritisation of individual and career
tasks in their life as well as the amount to which actions connected to their employment are
represented at home. The aim of the report is to investigate the impact of work-life balance on
employee productivity. It analyzes the relationship between work-life balance practises and
organisational efficiency as well as whether Work-life balance practices could reduce worker
turnover and absenteeism. This also examines the work-life balance challenges that employees
encounter as well as strategies for improving work-life balance practices between professionals.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE OPTIONS
Organizations are discovering that employees who have a healthy work-life balance are
more valuable to their companies. The value of an employee's private life affects the nature of
his or her job and there are clear commercial motivations to promote work and non-work
integration. There are various organisational policies which could help to ease the tension of
work-life balance. Working environment benefits such as personal time off, compensated leave,
on-site or neighbouring day care, financial help for childcare as well as other parents policies are
all possibilities for resolving the work-life balance issues. Corporations could select from a
variety of solutions when it comes to facilitating workers' work-life balance. Job-sharing, which
is a practice wherein the two members possess a job, is one alternative. Both work the very same
work, but they divide the time, income, vacations and perks. It allows individuals to devote
enough time to non-work tasks in order to maintain a healthy work-life balance (Humphries,
Creese and Byrne, 2020). Again there are vacations from job every now and then that resulted in
a good work-life balance. Such leave periods must include not just maternity, paternity and
parental leave, but it also periods off for professional pauses and long holidays. Other alternative
is shortened work days, which is a method in which a staff could perform the complete number
of stipulated hours over a shorter amount of time, for as performing the hour shifts across 4 days
in a week rather than five, saving a day. Employee production and motivation could be increased
with childcare support. It also cuts down on turnover, injuries and absenteeism. Working parents'
access to childcare could have a major impact on their work-life balance and career satisfaction.
The trend is upon dual-earner households since it is now too expensive for a potential money-
maker to remain at home (Ertan and Inal-Cavlan, 2021).
