2. What is work life balance?

3. With the advent of globalization, the
demands of workplace are ever-increasing
and highly dynamic. Employees spend more
time at the workplace rather than at home.
Although businesses are witnessing new
heights, the work-life balance of the
employee is no longer in control.

4.  Stress
 Physical Problem
 Relations Problem
 Unethical practice
 Disturb family
 Decreased Performance
 Organization in jeopardy

5. Employees must be ever performing and
ever learning to adapt themselves to the
dynamic market conditions.

6. The number of employees suffering from
many ailments including hypertension,
diabetes, heart attacks has grown
considerable in the recent past. Women
employees are facing gynee problems.

7. Employees are spending more time in the
office than home. Spouse, children, parents
are no longer given the time they deserve.

8. To handle the stress in the organization and
the family-related issues as well employees
tend to adopt unethical practices like
boozing, smoking, drugs, improper
relationships etc. Also there is a high
probability that employees may resort to
unfair means to get their work done
ultimately by hook or crook.

9. The worst hit people in the entire scenario
are the families of the employees. Fighting
with time to achieve the organizational
targets, family is often overlooked. The
numbers of broken families has gone up.

10. Employees in the company are never at
peace. Whey they are at workplace, the
personal issues are a concern and when
they are at home, the professional issues are
a concern. Unknowingly, the employees get
into a frustrated mode and cannot give their
best to their profession.

11. It all starts with stress and ultimately the
employees ability and performance is at
crossroads. The output of this situation may
be that the organization may not achieve its
goals or the employee is no longer satisfied
with the organization.

12. Time management + Stress
management = Work-life Balance

13. SWOT Analysis: Time is very precious and
there is an old saying which says “ Time is
money” To manager time first, the employee
should begin with SWOT analysis.

14. Planning is like an ignition for any kind of
management. Plan it right and get it right is
indeed a statement of thought. Also it must
be realistic and feasible.

15. In professional or personal lives, an elderly
or expert advice is like an anchor. A word
from those who have already been in the
situation is a guide for proper planning,
avoiding commonly made mistakes.
Employees must not feel low about taking
advice but rather see that as a learning
experience.

16. Impossible is often read as I’m possible by
optimistic people. Some slogans, sayings,
short stories, talking to people can definitely
be motivators to follow the time plan
consistently. The enthusiasm shows at the
beginning must be shown throughout by the
employee.

17. Finally, but every important is the
commitment by the employee to strive for
time management. The employee must be
self-motivated as well motivate others to
plan, follow and achieve effective time
management.

18. Take it Easy: The best way to handle stress
is not seeing it as a monster but as normal
as for any other individual. So the first step
would be to relax and understand the
problem.

19. Once the problem is identified, the general
tendency of an individual is to go into
depression. This will not help in coming out
with a solution. So it is important for the
employee to start looking for a solution like a
warrior facing an enemy.

20. Accepting mistakes is a dare feat on the part
of any individual. A Solution always starts
when we accept the reasons for stress and
stop blaming others for the situation. This
helps in creating an optimistic attitude in the
employee behavior.

21. Once the mistakes are identified, the next
step would be to understand that it is human
nature to commit mistakes and not a crime.
Somebody beautifully said “ Falling is not a
weakness but failure to get up is a
weakness” So the attitude of transforming
the mistakes into a learning experience must
be developed.

22. When we do the work giving our heart and
soul to it, all the stress is washed out. When
we start enjoying our work, problems come
and go without serious affecting our job.

23. The number of women employees in every
organization significantly growing. Women
employees also are no less in either
expertise or compensation when compared
men.

24. Some of the employees feel there is no
necessity of such program in the organizations
and only some segments of the employees
(Mostly women and married employees) are
benefitted from them. These perceptions may
become a stumbling block in creating
harmonious relations among the employees
and thus affect the work atmosphere

25. Organization who are working 24/7, the
workflow cannot be stopped at any time. In
such cases, work-life balance programs
must ensure that there is perfect
replacement of employees ensuring
continuity of work.

26. The policies set by HR must be effectively
communicated to all level of employees,
clarifying and kind of ambiguity on the part of
the employees. Effective communication of
the policies will help the employees go about
their work confidently.

27. By planning you can balance your work-life
