Abstract

To help the employees identify the impact that this can bring to their respective organizations A healthy work-life balance makes employees more productive. Being productive means work being completed more timely, more effort being put into it to make sure it is accurate and up-to-the-mark. This works in the best favor of the corporates as well since it makes employees more motivated. With being productive, employees become more satisfied too with their respective jobs. A satisfied employee will not hunt for other jobs and will be content with the current jobs, which again, benefits the corporates, since they get to retain their hard-working and well-trained employees and business policies and secrets are remained safe within the business as employees will be more loyal to their employers.
