Work Life Balance: How Stressful Is It For Indian Women

Abstract

Finding a healthy balance between work and personal life is one of the most important things that female employee can do to advance their careers. Each sector has its own unique set of strategies, rules, procedures, practises, and programmes designed to assist workers in striking a healthy balance between the demands of their jobs and the responsibilities they have at home. While some policies are mandated by law, others are followed only on a voluntary basis. The primary purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of how changes in technology, increased work pressure coupled with constant deadlines, the co-existence of a virtual workplace, and changing demographic profiles (including gender, experience), an increase in disposable income inflation, and an improvement in living standards have encouraged the importance of the provision of a work-life balance in the industrial sector. In our day and age, it is very necessary, and more so for women because of the multiple roles that they perform. The research paper illustrates the path that work-life balance should take for female employees in the Indian sector.
