WORKLIFE BALANCE
There are a number of roles that each one holds throughout life. Work-life conflict occurs when time and energy demands imposed by many roles become incompatible with one another; participation in one role is made increasingly difficult by participation in another. Work-life balance calls for adoption of certain coping strategies. The effective management of work/life balance (WLB) is an issue increasingly recognized as of strategic importance to organizations and of significance to employees. Companies that are bigger, more globalised and better managed provide a better work-life balance for their employees (Suls and Fletcher, 1985).
