WORK- LIFE BALANCE: REQUIRMENT FOR EMPLOYEES BUT A NECESSITY FOR ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

A high rate of economic growth seems to be taking a toll on people's work-life balance as more and more Indians are overworked. Sustained economic growth in the last 3-4 years and substantial outsourcing work done by Indians have contributed to longer working hours which affects their productivity as well as health. It becomes imperative for the organizations to ensure that proper measures are being taken to enable the employees to better manage both their work as well as private life without compromising their health. Therefore, the project aims to study the importance of work life balance in the Indian context along with various measures taken by different organizations in achieving the same. At the end the project will try to draw a correlation between the various work life balance programs initiated by the organizations and the impact on their attrition rate.
