INTRODUCTION
Winning the hearts and minds of talent is of key importance in the current context. Employee’s
dedication is towards their own professional growth and careers. Motivation for an employee
no longer comes from a well-paid pay package. The companies therefore need to walk an extra
mile to make the employee feel unique in order to ensure that the employee doesn’t walk out
bent on to the arms of competition. India has witnessed a kind of revolution in the field of
Human Resource, initially from a support function to being a strategic partner via the increase
in business. The HR function of 21st century India has made a transition from being ‘behind
the scenes’ support accessory to becoming the critical differentiation in business arena. The
rapid globalization has made the companies to realize that people are the solution to growth
being the only strategic source that any enterprise actually needs. Companies now recognize
that a ‘highly engaged employee’ is the key to triumph across business sectors. The reason for
HRM is to augment the profitability of an association by advancing the adequacy of its
representatives. This order is probably not going to change in any basic route, notwithstanding
the always expanding pace of progress in the business world. As Edward L. Gubman saw in
the Journal of Business Strategy, noticed in the Journal of Business Strategy, "the basic
mission of human resources will always be to acquire, develop, and retain talent; align the
workforce with the business; and be an excellent contributor to the business. Those three
challenges will never change."
Human Resources are animated ones however material assets are lifeless. It ought to
be noticed that in the first instance, it is individuals that make or accumulate vital material
assets that are made accessible for the working of the concerned organization. Hence it might
8. Page 8
be stated that without human beings, there would be no material assets accessible by any
means. However, it is in vain to utilize overqualified people to perform a simple job
employment. Then again, it isn't right to utilize under-qualified people for employments
requiring high abilities and obligations.
Recently, a few business patterns have significantly affected the broad field of Human
Resource Management, undoubtedly vital among them were everchanging technological
innovations. These new advancements, especially in the ranges of electronic correspondence
and information dissemination and retrieval, have drastically changed the business scene.
Satellite correspondences, Personal Computers and systems administration frameworks, fax
machines, and different gadgets have all encouraged change in the routes in which
organizations connect with each other and them employees. Working from home, for example,
has turned into an exceptionally well-known choice for some employees and HRM experts
have indeed ventured new rules for this rising subset of employees. Changes in hierarchical
structure have additionally impacted the changing face of human resource management.
Continuous attrition in manufacturing industries in the United States and different countries,
combined with the ascent in service industries in those nations, have changed the working
environment, as has the decrease in union representation in numerous businesses. Many
organizations have balanced their conventional; various leveled hierarchical structures for
compliment administration structures. Human Resource Management specialists note that this
shift in responsibilities conveyed a need to reassess job descriptions, evaluation frameworks,
and different components of work force administration. Change Management empowered a
few organizations to demand higher performances from their representatives while holding the
line on compensation. Different components that have changed the way of Human Resource
Management lately incorporate new administration and operational speculations like Total
9. Page 9
Quality Management (TQM), quickly evolving socioeconomics, and changes in health
insurance and government and state work enactment
The Evolution of Human Resource Management
Human Resource has evolved from many terms and functions such as human capital, laborers,
personnel and currently human resources. The few changes in these terms also mean changes
in the way human resource managers plan their strategies in managing employees. The
evolution of Human Resource Management has proceeded through the eternities from times
when people were ill-treated in slavery working conditions to the modern setting where people
are appreciated and respected and viewed as strategic partners to business. Human Resource
Managements’ origin is dated back to 1800 BC., when wage and incentive plans were included
in the Babylonian code of Hammurabi. The world’s first management book,
titled“Arthashastra” written by Kautilya, in 400 BC, codified many aspects of human resource
practices in ancient India. Human Resource development has gone through metamorphic
stages. The initially committed Human Resource Development department began in 1975 at
L&T. UdayPareek and T.V Rao in 1975 laid out logic for the new Human Resource
Development System. After L&T acknowledged and began actualizing their proposals in full
the State Bank of India the single biggest bank and its partners chosen to execute the Integrated
HRD System approach and chose to make another HRD department. By the mid 80's a large
number of associations in India had set up completely fledged HRD divisions. In 1979, the
primary workshop on HRD was led by Dr. T.V.Rao, where the draft ofthe book Designing and
managing Human Resource System was displayed and tested. After that a large number of
organizations began showing enthusiasm for having HRD departments. However, over the
timeframe HRD as an idea and practice have experienced diverse phases of transformation. In
10. Page 10
the mid-70s HRD divisions were begun with a view to advance capability building and work
inspiration. The need was satisfied to a huge extent by the late 80's. By the mid 90's, the
concentration of HRD changed from HR for its own particular purpose to HR for business.
Today in globally competitive market its role is clearly known. Human Resource Management
a generally new term developed amid the 1970s. Many individuals keep on referring to the
discipline by its more conventional titles like personnel management or personnel
administration. The trend is evolving. The term these days utilized as a part of industry circles
is Human Resource Management working towards the welfare of workers? Kautilya's
Arthashastra states that there existed a sound base for precise management of resources as
early as fourth century BC. The government then went up against dynamic enthusiasm for the
regulation of public and private sector endeavors and provided systematic procedures to
manage employer-employee relationships. Elsewhere, Human Resource in organizations
received the administration consideration much earlier. As right on time as in 18000 B.C. it,
the minimum wage rate and incentive wage plan were incorporated into the Babylonian code
of Hammurabi. Specialists of HRM in our nation have attempted to account the development
of the subject just since the 1920s. This was the period when state intercession to secure the
interests of laborers were felt fundamental due to the troublesome conditions which took after
the main world war, and the development of trade unions. The Royal commission (1931)
prescribed the appointment of welfare officers to appoint the workers and to settle them
grievances. The Factories Act 1948, made arrangement of welfare officers obligatory in
modern foundations employing at least 500 or more workers each. In course of time, two
professional bodies, the Indian Institute of Personnel management (IIPM) and the National
Institute of Labor Management (NILM) were set up. IIPM had its headquarters at Kolkata and
NILM at Mumbai. These two spots were the premier centers of conventional industry (jute and
11. Page 11
cotton individually) in pre-independent India. The repercussions ofthe Second World War and
the nation's political freedom saw expanded awareness a desire of laborers. Amid the 1960s,
the work force work started to grow past the welfare perspective, with labor welfare, Industrial
Relations and personnel administration coordinating into the rising profession called Personnel
Management. At the same time, the huge push given to the overwhelming business with
regards to planned economic development, especially since the second five-year plan and the
accelerated development of the public sector in the national economy brought about a shift in
focus towards professionalism of management. By the 1970s a move in professional values
was detectable. It moved from a concern of welfare towards an emphasis on effectiveness. In
the 1980's professionals started to discuss new technologies along with Human resource
challenges and Human Resource development. The two expert bodies, IIPM and NILM,
converged in 1980 to frame the National Institute of Personnel Management. (NIPM). In the
1990s the accentuation moved to human potentials and efficiency through people. Reflecting
this pattern, the American culture for work force Administration (ASPA) was renamed as the
Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM). Accordingly, stream of HRM has
developed into a matured profession.
HRM Reforms
It is the process of maintenance of the highest standards of corporate efficiency, competence
and reliability within the agenda of the organization’s particular edifice and personality. It is
the key to improve further the capacity of organizations to fulfill their corporate social
responsibility effectively and efficiently. Since human resource management operates today in
more complex and diverse environment human resource reform is necessary to professionalize
and develop strategies to change the organization’s culture and management style. Also, it is
12. Page 12
necessary to create a supportive work environment, which promotes productivity and enables
human resources to respond to the pressures of work and family life with ease.
The Work Life Evolution Study (2007) reveals that challenge of working across cultures and
nations that have emerged from globalization was distinguished as the second most vital
pattern
since Work Life combination is characterized and treated diversely in various societies and
nations (e.g., socially, lawfully, logically, and so forth.) which presents a tremendous challenge
to the HR professional. Another pattern that scored exceptionally on the review was working
in a24/7 environment. This address both the difficulties of working comprehensively
furthermore, add to the issue of substantial workload and intemperate work hours.
Work Life Today
Harrington and Ladge (2009) commented that since the beginning of the field when the
emphasis was basically on dependent care and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), Work
Life has extended to address about each part of a man's working life. Employee recruitment,
benefits and total reward programs, job design, approaches to career advancement and
leadership development, employee relocation and travel policies, leave taking, the structure of
work groups, corporate social responsibility and changing corporate culture can all be recorded
among the bunch of areas that are incorporated under the umbrella of corporate Work Life
programs. Correspondently, Work Life initiatives are housed in various regions inside human
resource departments, contingent upon the association's point of view on Work Life and the
essential concentration of their effort. President Kalam has highlighted that India has the best
preferred standpoint of its capable workable force. In India, 540 million individuals underneath
the age of twenty-five years which no other nation has such a major bank of workable people
who can work wonders?
13. Page 13
The Genesis of Work Life Balance:
A condition of harmony in which the requests of both individuals’ job and personal life are
equivalent is Work Life. Phrases and words serve as social signposts to clarify where we are
and where we are going. The expression "Work Life Balance" was beginning in 1986, despite
the fact that its use in ordinary dialect was sporadic for various years. Curiously, Work Life
programs existed as right on time as the 1930s. Before World War II, the W.K. Kellogg
Company made four six-hour movements to supplant the conventional three every daily eight-
hour shifts, and the new moves brought about increased employee spirit and proficiency.
Rosabeth Moss Kanter's original book (1977), “Work and Family in the United States: A
Critical Review and Agenda for Research and Policy”, brought the issue of Work Life Balance
to the forefront of research and associations. In the 1990s, organizations started to offer Work
Life programs. While the primary rush of these projects was principally to support women
with kids, today's Work Life programs recognize different duties and in addition those with the
family domains. Work Life Balance incorporates Work / Personal life impedance and also
Work / Personal life enhancement.
Definitions
Due to shifts in the labor market and the changing nature of work, Work Life Balance is
currently at the highest point of the plan for government and business. While Work Life
Balance generally centered around family-friendly workplaces – basically concerned with
empowering mothers to adjust work and childcare duties – there is expanding acknowledgment
from associations that Work Life Balance is about more than families, and are rather helping
representatives to have entry to working courses of action that are good with their different
14. Page 14
obligations, way of life and their work. It is likewise perceived that Work Life Balance can
lead by profitability gains through increased retention and helps organizations to react to
customers’ needs more successfully. While Work Life Balance is an inexorably popular term,
there is no evident accord on what it implies, albeit most definitions do incorporate the ideas of
flexibility, juggling and sustainability. Work Life Balance is frequently used to depict the
balance between duties at work and obligations outside paid work; having a Work Life
Balance implies that this balance is in the right position for the individual concerned. There is
no one size fit-all definition for Work Life Balance. Moreover, "balance" and "imbalance"
changes for various individuals at various circumstances oftheir lives, making the thought of a
solitary meaning of Work Life Balance unrealistic. This is intensified by contrasts in socio-
economic circumstances: for those in low-paid work, longer hours might be a financial need.
With this, the meaning of Work Life Balance is characterized as 'having adequate control and self-
sufficiency over where, when and how you work to fulfill obligations inside and outside paid
work. Work Life Balance is a complex word with an assortment of meanings. As a noun, Balance
is a set of scales, a measuring device; it is additionally the regulating gear in clocks. Inthe event
that we utilize the scales, then the Balance occurs when there is "an equivalent dispersion of
weight or amount” yet this presents issues for Work Life Balance since both sides might be
overwhelming or light. Moreover, the sort of Work Life Balance looked for by many may not
imply equal weight on both sides. However, Balance likewise has a physical
and psychological significance as "stability of body or mind". The importance of Work Life
Balance has chameleon attributes. The accompanying is working meanings ofterms utilized in
regards to Work Life Balance; a few definitions cover and some are keeping on advancing.
15. Page 15
Work/family: a term frequently utilized as a part of the past than today. The present trend is to
utilize titles that incorporate the expression Work Life, giving a more extensive Work Life
implication orreferring to particular regions ofsupport (e.g., personalsatisfaction, flexible work
options, life balance, and so forth.)
Work/family Conflict: the push and pull amongst work and family duties.
Work Life Conflict from the employee perspective: The problem of overseeing work
commitments and individual/family duties.
Work Life Conflict from the business perspective : the test of making a steady organization
culture where representatives can concentrate on their occupations while at work.
Family-friendly benefits: The benefits that offer employees the scope to address their own
and family duties, while in the meantime not compromising their work obligations.
Work Life programs: Programs (frequently financial or time-related) set up by businesses
that offer employees alternatives to address work and individual obligations.
Work Life initiatives: Policies and procedures up by an association with the objective to
empower employees to enable employees to accomplish their work and in the meantime
provide flexibility to handle individual/family concerns.
Work/family culture: the degree to which an organizations way of life recognizes and regards the
family duties and commitments of its representatives and urges administration and workers to
cooperate to meet their personal and work needs.
It is just in the late years that the term 'Work Life Balance' has succeeded the term
'Work/Family Balance' which was being used before. The term Work Life now reaches out to
incorporate other life exercises like study, exercise, group work, leisure activities, care of
elderly too and not only care of dependent youngsters as was perceived under the term work-
family. In the meantime, the idea of family has expanded to incorporate more distant families,
16. Page 16
shared parenting, single parent families and an extensive variety of social and support
networks and communities. The term Work Life Balance has three key parts – 'work', "life"
and 'balance'. In basic terms, "work" is regularly conceived as 'paid employment' while "life"
incorporates activities outside work. Defining Work as 'paid employment', however, neglects
to consider the additional unpaid work, driving time and the time spent on business related
issues while far from work. Additionally, for those telecommuting, the boundary separating
home and work is extremely permeable. Innovation is progressively assuming a part in
disguising the outskirt amongst home and work and adding to stresses and strains in the life of
working men and women. So also, when taking a gander at "life" most specialists limit
themselves to a narrow definition whereby life comes to relate with 'family', and their
examination bases on the overflow of work into the space of family or the other way around.
Family is dominant part of life outside work. Life outside work would also likewise
incorporate free time, self-time and the time spent with companions, community and taking
part in different activities. The expression "Balance" too lends to variety of meanings. Clark
(2000) alludes to Balance as "satisfaction and good functioning at work and at home with a
minimum role conflict" (pg.751). A simple meaning of Balance might be "adequate time to
meet duties at both home and work" (Guest, 2002, pg. 256). In this way, there is a considerable
measure of subjectivity that 'Work Life Balance' consolidates in it. For an individual it might
be an apparent harmony amongst work and rest of life. This apparent adjust would have
distinctive meanings for various individuals, because of their own decision, career stage,
family life cycle arranges, nature of work and the preferences. In this manner, for some the
inclination might be to spend extend periods of time at work, either in view of the career stage
or due to a constrained life outside work, while for others, the apparent balance would exist
where work is subordinated to the demands of home. Therefore, implying that if people don't
17. Page 17
feel they have a "decent" blend and mix of work and non-work parts, they may encounter
negative or conflicting outcomes (Frone et al, 1997). As per Greenhaus and Beutell, (1985)
Work Life Balance is out of kilter when the concurrent event of (at least two) arrangements of
pressure to such an extent that consistence with one would make more troublesome
consistence with the other. Studies on Work Life Conflict are regarded as a bi-directional
relationship where work can meddle with non-work duties and the other way around (life/work
conflict). Inferring that a contention amongst work and life will drive one to renounce rewards
in one circle for getting rewards in the other. The phenomena have been characterized as "a
form of inter-role conflict in which work and family demands are mutually incompatible so
that meeting demands in one domain makes it difficult to meet demands in the other” (Higgins
et al., 2008, pg 1). Along these lines, one can recognize two sorts of Work to Family Conflict,
each with its own interesting space particular indications work interfering with family and
family intervening with work (Greenhaus and Beutell, 1985). Conceptual models and
experimental research that supports them demonstrate that the role related causes for Work
Family Conflict and Family Work Conflict dwell in the work and family spaces, separately. A
similar idea, yet with the different nomenclature of 'Work Interference with Personal Life' and
'Individual Life Interference with Work' has been examined by Fisher-Mc Auley et al., (2003)
while deliberating about the scale for measuring Work Life Balance. Many organizations have
responded to the evolving set of issues and with the influencing elements related to Work Life
Balance by facilitating extensive diverse Work Life Balance practices. These apply to aid the
employees to balance both work and life correspondingly where it supports the employer to
increase the retention of the employee. Some of the influencing factors include working hours
and flexibility, time dilemma, Job satisfaction, Job Autonomy and Organizational
Commitment

Approaches to Work Life Balance
Traditional approaches
There is vast research literature on the relationship between Work Life for the most part named
as Work - Family. Edwards and Rothbard (2000), Zedeck and Mosier (1990) and O'Driscoll
(1996) have surveyed this literature and have added to the comprehension of this dynamic
relationship of work and family. These scientists have noticed that there are five primaries
methodologies otherwise called linking mechanisms (Edwards and Rothbard, 2000) to
illustrate the relationship amongst work and family. The approaches are
1. Spillover
The spillover approach suggests that the experiences in one role influence the experiences
in second role. The conduct, inclination, abilities and qualities from one role can spillover
to the second role. Spillover may happen in two conditions. In the first place, when there is
a closeness amongst work and some other area (Edwards and Rothbard, 2000) e.g. an
individual is happy with the nature of work done on a specific day; this outcomes in
agreeable encounters at home. Second, spillover happens accordingly of transference
(Edwards and Rothbard, 2000) e.g., worry at work environment overflow to the family
space and the individual presentations displaying irritable inclination in the family. In this
manner, spillover can be both positive and negative.
2. Congruence
The Congruence approach is fairly like overflow. Caongruence can be accomplished
through a positive linkage amongst work and family experiences; wherein consistency is a
consequence of a third component that impacts both work life and family life (Edwards and
Rothbard, 2000). For instance, a pessimistic impact of a third factor on work and family
relationship that is contrary effect as a personality characteristic (Frone, Russell and
19. Page 19
Cooper, 1995). Additionally, positive work-family culture in the organization may
influence both work life (e.g., flexibility with Work Life Balance, Work-Family
Enrichment and Career Success and family life (ample leaves and child care facilities at
work) positively, thus leading to possibility of balancing amongst work and family.
3. Compensation
The Compensation approach alludes to an endeavor of compensating for deficit shortages
in one role through higher involvement in another role (Edwards and Rothbard 2000;
Zedeck, 1992 and Lambert 1990). These inadequacies could be the demands or fulfillments
that can be satisfied in another role (Guest, 2002). For instance, an individual is profoundly
occupied with the work life as a result of some negative experiences in the non-work life.
The feeling of accomplishing something advantageous and increasing positive vitality in
non-work life is accomplished through higher engagement at workplace.
4. Segmentation
The Segmentation approach sets that work and family are two particular spaces and there is
no relationship between the two areas, demonstrating that work and family are separate
circles; which may not impact each other (Edwards and Rothbard, 2000, Zedeck, 1992, and
Zedeck and Moiser, 1990). The early originations of this approach proposed a
characteristic detachment of work and family spaces on the grounds that both the parts
include unique importance, errands and practices; in this way, keep up a physical and a
temporal separation (Blood and Wolfe, 1960). However, as the exploration developed
another viewpoint with respect to segmentation approach emerged. This detachment is
recently interpreted as a boundary amongst work and non-work; which is thought to be
impermeable (Nippert Eng, 1995). Segmentation is additionally seen as a dynamic
psychological process that might be utilized as managing with a boundary amongst work
20. Page 20
and family (Kossek, Noe and DeMarr, 1999 and Rothbard, Phillips and Dumas, 2005).
5. Integration
The Integration approach speculates that work and family areas can be integrated and they
are nearly related as though woven together; in this way, it is difficult to separate between the
two domains. This approach is additionally called as Identity r approach (Edwards and
Rothbard, 2000).
6.Work-family border theory
In the light of segmentation being conceived as limit boundary work and non-work,
another theory that partly shares the idea is the Work Family border theory. The distinction
between the border theory and the segmentation approach is that in the border theory,
Clark (2000) contends, that people cross this border amongst work and non-work day by
day and they move in and out of the border, while the traditional conception of the
segmentation approach was that the limit of work and family is impermeable. The Work-
Family border theory that such a border is permeable and that work and family can indeed
impact each other (Guest, 2002).
7.Role conflict versus Role Accumulation
Sieber (1974) characterizes a part as indicated by that of Merton (1957) and Gross, Ward
and Mc Eachern (1958) "Pattern of desires which apply to a specific social position and
which ordinarily persist independently of the personalities occupying the position" (p.
569). Tiedje et al. (1990) have recommended a typology on role involvement and they have
established their typology on role conflict (Goode, 1960) and role accumulation theory
(Marks, 1977 and Sieber, 1974). Role Conflict occurs when an individual takes part in
numerous parts with boundless demands causing role strain and role conflict on the
grounds that the requests and desires the individual needs to satisfy are scarce and
21. Page 21
constrained (Goode, 1960). In reality, the role enhanceme nt or role accumulation theory
proposes that there are four fundamental types of advantages or rewards for participating in
more than one part: role- benefits; security; resources for status improvement and role
performance; enrichment of the identity and self-image satisfaction (Sieber, 1974). The
customary ways to deal with Work Life Balance have been put-forth the understanding
mechanisms which work inside the relationship of work and non-work and it was exactly
found that every one of these linkages exist and many a times, these systems act upon
simultaneously (Lambert, 1990). Frone (2003) proposes that these methodologies albeit
erudite, don't end up being adequate to comprehend the Work Life interface totally. The
contemporary ways to deal with Work Life interfaces are prescribed that may help in
further comprehension the Work-Family Balance issue.
Models of Work Life Balance:
There are regularly 5 models used to clarify relationship amongst Work and Life outside
work.
Segmentation Model: The segmentation model demonstrates conjectures that work and
non-work are two different areas of life that are lived independently and have no impact on
each other. This gives off an impression of being offered as a theoretical plausibility as
opposed to a model with empirical support.
Spillover Model: With respect to Work Life Balance, spillover alludes to constructive or
contrary impacts of an individual's working life on their personal or family life and the
other way around. The spillover demonstrates that one world can impact the other in either
a positive or negative way. There is, obviously, abundant research to strengthen this
however as a suggestion it is determined in such a general way as to have little value.
22. Page 22
Therefore, there is a need to more detailed propositions about the nature, causes and
outcomes of spillover.
Compensation Model: The compensation model recommends that what is lacking need in
one sphere, as far as demands or fulfillments can be made up in the other. For instance,
work might be normal and undemanding yet this is made up for by a noteworthy part in
local community activities outside work.
Instrumental Model: The instrumental model whereby activities one circle encourages
achievement in the other. The traditional illustration is the instrumental worker who will
seek to augment income, even at the cost of undertaking a routine job and working long
hours, to accommodate with house, or a car for a young family.
Conflict Model: The Conflict model recommends that with elevated amounts of interest in
all spheres of life, some difficult decisions must be made and a few clashes and
conceivably some noteworthy overload on an individual occur
Work and Family Researchin India
“When contrasted with work-family explore in developed nations that has advanced in a
distinct cross-disciplinary field of inquiry, in India it has taken after two discrete and
separated ways; first, by concentrating on underprivileged women that has outlined about
structures of patriarchy and their contribution to subordination of women at work and
home. Secondly by way of psychosocial inquire that led to a greater extent from a role
theory perception that has analyzed Work Family relations within urban settings. There has
been minimal cross-pollination between these two streams and constrained concentration
has been kept up on the part of the organizations” (Rajadhyaksha and Smita, 2004).
Trends in work-family research in India
23. Page 23
Decade of the 1970s
The principal fillip to work and family investigate inside the Indian setting came amid the mid-
1970s. Events, for example, the Declaration of 1975 as International Women's Year and the
1970s as the ‘Women's Decade’ prompted to building up women' studies centers’ across the
nation to discharge the primary ever Report of the Committee on the Status of Women in
India (Government of India, 1974). This report formally recorded the subordination of
women by condensing insights of imbalanced child and adult- sex proportions, so as to
connect with the women’s empowerment and development. A favorable result of this report
was that this research devoted to issues identifying with women and work and family issues
(Jain and Rajput, 2003). From the beginning women' studies in India embraced a basic request
so as to uncover the structures that maintained subordination of women. Henceforth, a large
number of studies depicted appalling workingconditions for women in various segments of the
economy and examined the organizations of family relations that enslaved women at home
(e.g., Krishna Raj, 1983). In the meantime, psychosocial studies focused upon work and
family roles of urban working women in India were led. Since working women were new to
the Indian culture amid this decade, a larger part of these reviews was concerned with the
status of and discernments towards working women, stresses of balancing work and home
obligations and its effect onthe psychological well-being of women (Bharat, 2000).
Mid 1980s-1990s
The following decade tended to the deficiency of male respondents in work and family
studies. As the quantity of urban educated women who were still dedicated to being
married increased, there was additionally a relating increment in the number of working
couples in urban areas. Henceforth a huge number of studies focused after working couples

and investigated gender differences in attitude towards enactment of work and family roles.
This incorporated spouses' points of view to the reviews (e.g., Ramu, 1987). A few reviews
likewise included points of view of underprivileged segments of the Indian culture, for
example, Dalit women (Rege, 2000).
Mid-1990s onwards
This decade was set apart by the progression of the Indian economy. Work and family
research preceded in this environment, along the two independent research directions
developed previously. Research was essentially determined by the requirement for
highlighting existing standards of patriarchy and structural constraints of increasing
poverty, oppressive family life, developing fundamentalism and politicization of religio n
basic women' status in the nation (Desai, 1994). Studies likewise also extended their
concentration to analyze the effect of globalization on female workforce participation
(Sonpar and Kapur, 2001). Research from a psychosocial point of view proceeded with its
examination of gender orientation perspective in work and family roles. Given a small but
noticeable woman in professional and high-status employments, the studies distinctively,
started to recognize career and job-oriented women (Parikh and Shah, 1994) and
conversing about the likelihood of transitioning men's roles.
Between 1995 and 2000
“Information Technology enables services (ITES), cal centers and software sectors
boomed in India. Numerous organizations thus adopted work practices from the west.
Organizations started to offer services customarily connected with the family and non-
work space inside their premises, for example, recreation centers, day care facilities,
laundry facilities, canteen facilities, even futons to consider on the off chance that
employee felt to take nap” (Devi, 2002). In spite of the fact that the Information
25. Page 25
Technology segment was intended to empower working women to adjust work and family
duties, in reality, IT associations ended up ignoring family time. As the inspiration to offer
family cordial measures was more to reflect what was done in the developed world, various
incentives offered were pared down amid financially difficult circumstances (Poster and
Prasad, 2005). Examining on Work and Family amid the mid-1990s and past,
comprehensively took after the course of the past two decades. The beforehand specified
separation between researchers of work and family in India seems to have reduced the
capacity to address and resolve essential dilemmas in Indian culture, for example, diligent
propagation of customary gender role stereo types and conduct regardless of economic
development. It has likewise restricted the scope of mediations proposed to address the
issues of Work Family Balance. For instance, women' reviews have focused after
influencing policy change through state intercessions. Analysts, then again, have offered
arrangements at an individual level. There have subsequently been fewer intercessions at a
hierarchical level.
Work Life Balance Strategies
Organizations can execute different Work Life Balance initiatives that may help
representatives to better balance their work and family obligations, gain improvements in
prosperity and provide organizational benefits. There are a wide variety of family amicable
arrangements which incorporate yet are not constrained to flexible working hours, job-
sharing, part-time work, compressed work weeks, parental leave, and working from home,
on-site child care facility, (Hartel et al 2007). Furthermore, employers may give a range of
benefits identified with employees' wellbeing and prosperity, including extended health
insurance for the worker and dependents and access to programs or services to support
fitness and physical and emotional wellness. Still, different practices may support like
26. Page 26
children’s education, employee’s participation in volunteer work or even encouraging
phased retirement.
Flexi-Time
Flexi-time permit employees, to decide begin and end times of their working day, given a
specific number of hours are worked. This can permit them to meet family or individual
responsibilities (empower representatives to react to both unsurprising and unusual
conditions), amid the day or to diminish their starting and ending time by before and after
the surge hour.
Working from home
It is turning out to be increasingly normal for individuals to do at least some of their
consistent work from home as opposed to going into the workplace. This kind of course of
action is frequently called "telecommuting" or "working from home" and can be beneficial
for employees by permitting them: to arrange their work day around their personal and
family needs; to diminish work-related costs; to decrease commuting time; and to work in a
less distress and disruptive environment. It might also likewise suit employees who, as a
result of specific inabilities, can't leave home. The way that workers who utilizes
telecommuting can use this additional adaptability to gain by their own pinnacle efficiency
periods which can endeavor positive impact an organization's primary concern. Regardless
of these advantages and the consideration that working from home has attracted in the
media, very few collective agreements contain telecommuting provisions. The lack of
telecommuting provisions is halfway because of the way that not all occupations are
amiable to such a plan. Besides, businesses might be worried by the underlying
implementation costs, potential lawful liabilities, and challenges in managing and
evaluating the performance oftelecommuters. Trade-Unions may object to work-at-home
27. Page 27
statements on the off chance that they see them as prompting to more prominent
confinement of employees, lessen job security and promotional opportunities and reduced
wellbeing and safety protection.
Compressed Work Weeks
A compressed work week is a course of action whereby representatives work longer shifts
in return for a decrease in the quantity of working days in their work cycle (e.g., on a
weekly or bi-weekly basis). This can be advantageous for employees in terms of s
additional days off work and lessened commuting time, though managers can develop their
every-day operating hours, with less need to depend on overtime. Compressed work plans
might be especially helpful for employees who wish to lessen the quantity of days every
week spent at work but who cannot fiscally bear to diminish their working hours.
Compressed work weeks are frequently initiated by the employee, however, sometimes by
employer may initiate alternative to enhance operational proficiency, to expand production
or to set up longer business hours which can upgrade customer service. Basic arrangements
for forty hours work week are working ten hours for every day, four days a week; working
an additional hour a day with one day off every two weeks; or working an additional half
hour a day and having one day each three or four weeks off.
Part –Time Work
Part-time courses of action can likewise permit individuals with health issues, handicaps or
constrained disposable time to participate in the labor force, develop their abilities and
acquire work experience. At last, they can encourage reentry into the workforce for the
individuals who have had career breaks-especially mothers who have remained at home to
bring up their kids- or a gradual exit to employees nearing retirement. From the employers’
perspective, the utilization of part time workers, where achievable, can augment the
28. Page 28
utilization of HR and increment operational flexibility, by giving extra scope amid pinnacle
periods. Low maintenance work can likewise be considered. The Role of Work Life
Balance Practices in Order to Improve Organizational Performance is unsuitable for those
employees who might prefer working longer hours to increase their salary, in this way
guaranteeing a higher standard of living for their families. The European Working
Conditions Survey found that eighty five percent of those working under thirty hours for
each week were happy with their Work Life Balance. Moreover, part time workers and
those working less than thirty-five hours a week reported the most reduced levels of both
physical and psychological health issues. Part time work is one methodology every now
and again utilized by employees who wish to better balance their work and family life. It
ought to be promoted in more, higher – level occupations, for example, Daimler Chrysler
in Germany promotes part time work in leading positions in the organization (Clarke, et.al.,
2004).
Job sharing
It is a course of action which permits two (or in some cases more) representatives to
mutually fill one fulltime work, with obligations and working time shared or separated
between them. Work sharing might be proper where opportunities for part time jobs and
other options are constrained. Aside from the undeniable favorable position of permitting
workers more time for other obligations, including family responsibilities, job sharing
additionally encourages the development of organizations, where job sharing can gain from
each other while giving mutual support. It can profit managers also by enhancing staff
retention, increasing productivity and joining a wide range of skills and experience in
single job. At times, such an arrangement can also give extra scope amid occupied periods,
while guaranteeing continuity of coverage when one partner is on leave. For business with
29. Page 29
significant quantities of administrative, maintenance or customer confronting employees,
offering flexible working conditions could be difficult. Where the hours of work are
customer- driven, organizations confront constraints on flexibility for employees, yet this is
when family-accommodating policies like child care would be of generally advantage. A
positive case of childcare support is Star City Casino in Sydney that gives a 24-hour
childcare facility. Management trusts this has helped both staff and the organization, as
evidenced by the lowest staff turnover rate ofany casino in Australia (Australia
Government Website, 2005). Contextual factors that affected the accomplishment of these
work courses of action were administrative support and strong authoritative culture, the
presence of formal human resource management practices regarding decreased work
arrangements and implementation of such arrangements.
Family Leave:
Family Leave arrangements permit representatives to be far from the working environment
for varying timeframe in order to manage family duties (Bond and Wise, 2003).
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
Employee Assistance Programs are expected to perceive the interaction individuals
domestic and working lives and to offer confidential counseling to staff, including work
related anxiety that might influence their performance (Clemmet, 1998). The nature of
today EAPs vary from one organization to another. The commonly EAPs include providing
assistance in the areas of personal issues, relationship issues, eldercare, childcare, parenting
issues, harassment, substance abuse, job stress, balancing work and family. Some EAPs
providers are additionally ready to offer different other services including retirement or
lay-off help, and wellbeing and health promotion and wellness while others may offer
guidance on long term sicknesses, disability issues, counseling for crisis situations. Hence,
30. Page 30
EAPs does not simply confine on counseling services and may incorporate life skill
programs and fitness programs. It can help employees in managing stress and settling
individual issues too. Carolyn and Cooper (1994) revealed that EAPs are critical to
enhance representative mental and physical prosperity with the goal that they have
improved performance at work and enhanced job satisfaction and diminished turnover
intention.

ITERATURE REVIEW
The researcher has carried out a review of literature relating to “A Comparative Study of Work
Life Balance of Women employees working in Public & Private Sector Banks both in India as
well as abroad. An attempt has been made to summarize the important studies and works
keeping in mind the relevance of the present study. Review of related literature is a
determinant step in undertaking research. It paves a way to examine and define the problem,
stating objective formulating hypothesis, selection of suitable research design as well as
interpreting the result in the orientation of research work already undertaken. An attempt has
been made to provide an indication of various aspects of this study through the review of
existing literature.
Shanthi Srinivas (1992) stated that a major area of concern that is unique to the banking
industry is its transfer and promotion policy. The Government of India in 1986 (Bhatnagar,
1988) instituted a policy that affects public sector banks and recommended that a husband and
wife be posted in the same geographic area, subject of course, to availability of job positions.
Meanwhile, it does not address the problem of individuals whose spouses may not be working
for the banking industry as well as those single women who might face other constraints
regarding transfers to remote regions. There are several steps that can be taken to encourage
greater participation of women in the managerial ranks in banks.
Sarah Branch(2008) observed that failing to make use/not intending to use Work Life
Balance initiatives would increase stress in job, intention to quit, family to work conflict and
work to family conflict. Family-work conflict was found to decrease as use of work hours
policies increase. Work-family conflict was not found to be significantly predicted from
using/intending to use any of the groups of Work Life Balance initiatives; it was found that
33. Page 33
Balance initiatives had noteworthy impact on employee measures of organizational
commitment and reducing job stress.
Parimender Walia (2011) explains that Work centrality was found to have significant positive
correlations with dimensions of Work Interference with Personal Life (WIPL). The results
indicate that higher the work centrality, lesser is the work interference with personal life,
higher is the work/personal life enhancement and higher is the overall Work Life Balance.
Thus, there is significant correlation between the work centrality and Work Life Balance
(including its dimensions) of working professionals in IT and ITES industry is accepted for the
dimensions of work interference with personal life, work/ personal life enhancement and for
overall Work Life Balance.
Madeleine Simard (2011) disclosed the responsibility level, workload and expectations were
important contributors to stress and issues with Work Life Balance. When workers experience
over demanding responsibility levels, stress was the result. The personal life suffered because
of work demands. Support from supervisor, coworkers, spouse and family was also extremely
important, however, the organization did not have specific Work Life Balance policies where
benefits were provided but the support from family members was found to be very important
to individuals to help them cope. Engaging in leisure was also found to be imperative in
serving individuals accomplish their Work Life Balance, when they made the time for it.
Having a manageable workload allows individuals to be able to complete their work at work
and not eat away at their personal life. Most of the personal things were sacrificed for work.
Mehtha(2012) indicated that a large proportion of people lack consciousness of work–life
balance concerns and laws governing them. The respondents’ answers depicted that both the
state and employers are in a position to enhance work–life balance by facilitating benefits and
proper information in this regard. The researcher recommends that the proposals to be put forth
34. Page 34
for debate and intervention by organized groups, especially by the social partners, for the
creation of a targeted policy aiming to strengthen work–life balance. In past, the boundaries
between work and home were fairly clear. Today, however, work is likely to interrupt personal
life and maintaining Work Life Balance is no trouble-free task.
Varsha Kumara (2014) describes that career women always confronts challenges due to
family obligations. In a patriarchal society like India, women have started to enter paid work
working outside their homes but still need to have a long way to move culturally, socially and
economically, to bring in positive attitudinal changes in the mind-set of people. It is working
women who feel mentally pressurized than working Women. Single parenting is found to be
even more challenging.
Shalaka Sharad Shah (2014) reveals that both in India and Germany it was found that
managers were found to be significantly different in purview of career advancement. The study
revealed that it was male managers who advanced more than female managers. While Indian
managers face higher job demands, they aspired for facilities like mentoring. The necessity of
Work Life Balance was found to be more inspirational for female mangers than male as they
encountered various hindrances
ResearchArticles
Work Life Balance in General
Rajadhyaksha and Smita (2004) found that the research study confines to Work Life Balance
have appeared in different phases. While Women studies focused on rural and underprivileged
women, in urban settings the relations between work and family were being examined in
psychological purview. Indian Government after independence had set up several policies
focusing on working women. The organizations such as IT and ITES industries then inculcated
family friendly measures to have harmony between Work and Family.
35. Page 35
Voydinoff (2004) recognized that there was a positive association between the Time and
Strain based demands. It was examined that fostering autonomy and opportunities to learn
together with psychological rewards were significantly related to work to family facilitation.
Meanwhile, it was depicted that there was a negative association between Work family culture
and supervisor work family support whereas positively related to work to family facilitation.
Karraker & Grochowski (2005) highlights that there are several dysfunctional results due to
higher work family conflict the dysfunctions may relate to individual, family issues and
organization like anxiety, interpersonal conflict and absenteeism respectively.
Rajgopal (2007) conveys that Work Life Balance is currently in trend among governments,
organizations as well as researchers. All over the world, managers do have a similar exposure
towards pressure in jobs which further blur the boundaries between Job work and has an
impact on overall well-being. The Government together with organizations needs to take
imperative role in this regard as the sole responsibility does not only lie on individuals
themselves
Gunavathy and Suganya (2007) in their study excavated the causes, impact of work life
imbalance among married women employees of Business Process Outsourcing Companies .
Majority ofthe women stressed on Work life imbalance and has expressed that the cause is due
to work invasion in personal life. Burnout, poor health and less productivity were found to the
consequence of imbalance in work life.

Indian Banking
A sound money related framework is key for a solid and energetic economy. The banking
sector constitutes a transcendent part of the budgetary administration industry and the
execution of any economy, to an expansive degree, is reliant on the execution of the banks. In
India, the banking segment is impressively solid at present yet in the meantime, banking is
thought to berisky business. “Financial institutions must opt risk, yet they should do as such
with cautiously (Carey, 2001)”. Notwithstanding, it ought to be borne as a primary concern
that banks are extremely delicate organizations which are based on customers' trust, image
reputation or more all perilous influence. The failure elicited buy one of the banks is adequate
to send stun waves directly through the economy (Rajadhyaksha, 2004). Hence, bank
administration must take most extreme care in distinguishing the sort and additionally the level
of its risk exposure and handle those adequately. In addition, investors must see risk
management as a progressing and esteemed action. As the 21st century is characterized by
rapid technological changes, blurring of geographical frontiers of countries and the revolution
of rising expectations, a fundamental reorientation of the developmental strategies is necessary
for high and sustained growth. Accordingly, the strategy needs to be adopted by Banking and
financial institutions need to be redefined. These institutions need to adopt new practices to
adopt themselves to changing circumstances and chalenge of time. ‘Winds of change’ have
been sweeping the Indian Banking system since the deregulation of the industry in 1991. New
competitive realities have blurred industry boundaries, transformed standard management
practices and rendered conventional models of strategy and growth obsolete…. The Banking
sector in India has truly come of age in the contemporary Indian Financial market. There have
38. Page 38
been several challenges on the road to the transformational journey in the pursuit of making
the banks stronger and vibrant. The strength ofthe Indian Banking Industry is clearly reflected
in the successful implementation of Basel – I norms and improved earning strength. In the
rapidly changing present day world, the banking Industry landscape has been witnessing
sweeping changes driven by cutting edge technologies. Consequently, there has been a
paradigm shift from traditional process-oriented service to customer-oriented service.
The Indian Banking Sector is not quite the same as the banking system in rest of Asia, in light
of the particular geographic, social and monetary characteristics of the nation. India is the
second most populated country; it has manifested financial differences and large amounts of
absence of education. The nation took after a socialistic approach for well more than four
decades after freedom till the government initiated economic reforms through the policy of
liberalization. The banking structure in India is in this way an impression of the nation’s
socialistic set up. It needed to meet the objectives set by the five-year plans, particularly with
respect to fair distribution of wealth, adjusted regional economic development and expelling
private sector monopolies in trade and industry. The Government nationalized the banks in two
distinct stages (1969 and 1980). On July 19, 1969, 14 noteworthy banks of the nation were
nationalized and on fifteenth April 1980, six more commercial private sector banks were
assumed control by the legislature. As a result, the banking framework in India focused on the
domestic division; not many banks in India had a international presence. The nationalized
banks had a social commitment of extending banking to the general population by mounting
the branches and by getting more prospective individuals to open a account. It likewise needed
to assume a steady part to different areas of the economy like agriculture, small scale
enterprises and exports.

Evolution of Public Sector Banks in India
Public sector in the banking Industry developed with the nationalization of Imperial Bank of
India (1921) and making the State Bank of India (1955) as a part of coordinated scheme of
rural credit proposed by the All-India Rural Credit Survey Committee (1951). The Bank is
novel in a few regards and it appreciates a place of transcendence as the operator of RBI
wherever RBI has no branches. It is the single biggest bank in the nation with substantial
universal presence, with a system of forty-eight abroad offices spread more than 28 nations
covering all the time zones. One of the goals of building up the SBI was to give broad banking
facilities in rural areas by opening as an initial step 400 branches within a time of 5 years from
July 1, 1955. In 1959, eight banking companies working in the past princely states were
gained by the SBI, which later came to be known as Associate Banks. Later, two of the
subsidiary banks', viz., the State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur were converged to shape the
State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, in this manner State Bank of India formed eight banks
41. Page 41
under its group. The Public sector in the Indian banking got augmented with two rounds of
nationalization- first in July 1969 of 14 noteworthy private area banks each with deposits of
Rs. 50 crore or more, and from that point in April 1980, six larger number of banks with
deposits of Rs. 2 crores each. It brought about the creation of public sector banks with a
market share of 76.87 percent in deposits and 72.92 percent of assets in the banking industry
towards the end of March 2003. With the merger of 'New Bank of India' with 'Punjab National
Bank' in 1993, the quantity of nationalized banks got to be 19 and the quantity of public sector
banks being 27. The quantity of branches of public sector banks, which was 6,669 in June
1969, expanded to 41,874 by March 1990 and again to 46,752 by March 30, 2003. The public
sector banks in this manner came to involve a dominating position in the Indian banking
scene. It is furtherance, essential to note that there has been a consistent decrease in the share
of PSB's in the aggregate resources of SCB's amid the last - half of 1990s. While their share
was 84.5 for every penny toward the end of March 1996, it declined to 81.7 for percent in
1998 and further to 81 percent in 1999.
Evolution of Private Sector Banks in India
All those banks where larger parts of stake or value are held by the private shareholders and
not by government are called as the private sector banks. These are the significant players in
the banking arena and also in extension of the business exercises across India. The present
private sector banks are outfitted with a wide range of contemporary developments, fiscal
instruments and methods to handle the complexities are a consequence of the transformative
procedure more than two centuries. They have a profoundly created authoritative structure and
are professionally managed. In this way they have become quicker and stronger since recent
years.
42. Page 42
Private sector banks have been working in India since the earliest reference point of the
banking system. At first, amid 1921, the private banks like Bank of Bengal, Bank of Bombay
and Bank of Madras were in administration, which all together shaped Imperial Bank of India,
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in 1935 turned into the focal point of each other bank taking
without end every one of the duties and elements of Imperial bank. In the vicinity of 1969 and
1980 there was fast increment in the quantity of branches of the private banks. In April 1980,
they represented almost 17.5 percent of bank offices in India. In 1980, after 6 more banks were
nationalized, around 10 percent of the bank offices were those of private sector banks. The
share of the private bank offices remained almost same in the between 1980 and 2000. From mid-
1990's, with the RBI's liberalization policy and the Government offered licenses to a couple of
private banks, which came to be known as new private segment banks. There are twoclasses of
the private division banks-"old" and "new". The old private part banks have been working
since quite a while and might be referred to those banks, which were in operation before 1991
and every one ofthose banks that had started their business after 1991 were called as new
private division banks. Housing Development Finance Corporation Limit ed was the main
private bank in India to get permit from RBI as a part of the RBI's liberalization policy
arrangement of the banking segment, to setup a bank in the private sector banks in India.
Old Private Sector Banks
The banks that were not nationalized at the season of bank nationalization that occurred amid
1969 and 1980 were known to be the old private division banks. These were not nationalized,
due to their little size and territorial core interest. The greater part of the old private sector
banks were firmly held by specific groups and their operations were for the most part limited
to the zones in and around their place of inception. Their Board of directors mostly comprised
of locally noticeable identities from trade and business circles. One of the positive purposes of
43. Page 43
these banks are that, they incline intensely on service and innovation and they were likely to
draw in more business in days to accompany the rebuilding ofthe business round the corner. New
Private Sector Banks
The banks, which came in operation after 1991, with the presentation of monetary changes and
money related segment changes were called as new private area banks. Banking Act was then
altered in 1993, which allowed the passage of new private sector banks in the Indian banking
sector. However, criteria set for the foundation of the new private area banks were:
· The bank ought to have a minimum net worth ofRs.100 crores.
· The promoters holding ought to be at least 25% of the paid-up capital.
· Within 3 years of the beginning of the operations, the bank ought to offer shares to public.

reason for such experiments is to find a problem of direct or indirect polling from a practical
point of view with a significant focus on such investigations in the revelation of thought and
experience. Therefore, when investigating the appropriate suspension of such an examination it
should be flexible enough to provide an opportunity to consider the various aspects of the
matter under investigation.

LIMITATIONS
Whether adequate care has been used or is a developmental burden. All research is done under
a few criteria and this study are not. The limitations and problems that occur during the study
are as follows:
1.The current state ofthe Global Epidemic (COVID-19) has some effect on the study due to the
exclusion of 100 percent physical contact.
2.A limited amount of time was allocated for study which was not sufficient to consider all
aspects. Sufficient time prevented the researcher from conducting extensive research.

CONCLUSIONS
Managing the quality of workplace health is considered another way to manage people. People
who accept the "standard of living" are considered "true" by the organization and are not?
considered "expensive". This means that people get better results when they get involved in
their work and make decisions. This approach encourages people to respond not only to
financial needs, but also to social and emotional needs. Job development organizations and
trade unions must focus on responding to the next generation of workers.
