So planning of our own time is important. At the end of the day priority matters a lot. In addition, relationships suffer and the person begins to experience loneliness and depression. The psychotherapist believes that mid-career professionals are most prone to having work-life imbalances.

The Impact

The concept of work life balance emerged during the Industrial Revolution. In those days Industrialists agreed upon labour union’s demand of ‘One day off’. Later on, this is converted into ‘two day off’ which is followed in all the western countries. Grady et al (2008) stated that the term’ work-life balance’ is more comprehensive and includes “family, community, recreation and personal time.” The objectives of the research are to study the impact of practices followed in Norway and India on work-life balance, to gain insight on Google company’s work-life balance practices, to identify and suggest vital work-life balance practices that can be applied in Indian context. The research is descriptive in nature. The data has been collected mainly from secondary sources – research papers, annual report of companies (employee engagement) and articles. The tools used for achieving objectives and analysing are comparison method, case study analysis and survey method. The comparative and case study analysis shows that the education system, job security, income inequality are some of the factors which hinder the work-life balance in India. Flexi hours, time for creativity, family participation in workplace boost the enthusiasm and morale of the employees. The research is based on secondary sources. The primary data would more effectively convey the problems faced in work life balance. The work-life balance practices followed by only one company is taken into the study due to time constraint. The comparative analysis of work-life balance practices of big films would give better insight and would help in deriving dynamic solution. The sector centred, institution centred or gender centred study will give broader overview of the work-life balance. The search acts a base for comparative analysis.

Work-life balance has become a challenge in today’s fast paced workplaces, leading to work-life conflicts and adoption of unsustainable work practices by employees. Technological advancement has instilled an ‘always on’ attitude among employees, which has led to extended office hours as they are never disconnected from their work whether at home or on a holiday since they have access to office mails and messages all the time. This is the main cause of stress and burnout among the employees. This paper is an attempt to analyse the work life balance of the Academicians working in the business schools in UAE. It further explores the influence of gender on job satisfaction levels related to work life integration among employees. For the data analysis a pilot survey was conducted on respondents based on simple random sampling to get the estimate of work life balance of employees. The analysis revealed that both male and female employees find it difficult to maintain a balance between personal and professional life. Female employees had greater challenges as they had additional household responsibilities and family commitments, which makes it difficult for them to work overtime in the organization, or on weekends and holidays. These facts can be used as an input for the government departments in UAE which continuously strive to bring around policies to enhance the work life balance of employees across all the sectors in UAE
