ABSTRACT

Work-Life Balance is not a new concept. The change in the pattern of work and the concept of the workplace after the industrial revolution in the second half of the 18th century gave a new dimension to the concept of Work Life Balance. As time progressed, nuclear families increased. A later change was the fading away of the “ideal home" in which the earning member's spouse took care of the home. With improved education and employment opportunities today, most homes are like in which both parents work because of necessity and the desire to earn incomes. Work life balance means proper prioritizing of career, ambition and family as well as relatives and friends. Three components of work-family balance is very important to maintain work life balance these are time balance (equal time devoted to work and family), involvement balance (equal involvement in work and family), and satisfaction balance (equal satisfaction with work and family). Work life balance making means wo'rk more sensitive, arranging work more effectively and organising it more intelligently.
