Abstract:

Work-life balance has become a critical concern in today’s evolving work environment, where technological advancements and changing job demands have blurred the boundaries between professional and personal life. This study aims to examine employees’ perceptions of work-life balance and evaluate the effectiveness of organizational practices in promoting employee well-being. The research focuses on key factors such as flexible working hours, remote work opportunities, workload management, wellness programs, and organizational support for personal commitments. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected from 120 respondents using a structured questionnaire, and the data were analyzed using the One-Sample t-test with a test value of 3. The findings reveal that remote work opportunities, wellness programs, and manageable workload significantly contribute to employee well-being, indicating strong organizational performance in these areas. However, factors such as flexible working hours, paid leave availability, support for personal commitments, encouragement for work-life balance, and clear boundaries between work and personal life show no significant difference, reflecting a neutral perception among employees. The study concludes that while organizations have made progress in adopting modern work practices and supporting employee well-being, there are still gaps in traditional work-life balance policies. Strengthening these areas can help organizations create a more balanced and supportive work environment, ultimately enhancing employee satisfaction, productivity, and overall organizational effectiveness.
