Impact of Work-Life Balance in Project-Based Organisations

Improving employee retention is a difficult challenge for an organisation. The study examines the factors affecting the quality of work life in a project-based organisation before and after the adoption of work-life balance. The study captures the perceptions and views of employees towards work-life balance initiatives as well as discusses the factors which employees perceive to be important in achieving a balance between professional life and personal life. The main issues identified include work-life balance policies, general wellness, stress, time management and work schedules. Work-life balance initiatives need to be communicated properly to the employees in the organisation. © 2018, Indian Society of Labour Economics.
