The term “work/life balance” could be described as a balance in which the requirements of both the work and the personal life of a person are equal. This phrase was coined in 1986, although its use was irregular for several years in the ordinary language. Initiatives of work and life balance are a global phenomenon. Abraham (2002) said women working have a double load as a homemaker and employment. They are great mothers who fulfill several roles and reconcile tradition with modernity. Job and control over their work and personal life are also wanted by employees in international communities. Women in India have battled to build an identity and a living environment for society and for labor. Research has been substantial The relevance on organizational performance of Work-Life Balance was emphasized.
Work-life balance is described in its largest meaning as an “adjustment” between numerous tasks of a single individual. Thus, these practices include flexible hours of work (for example, flexible hours, allowing employees to change their time of start and end provided they work specific hours; Little work week, where employees work a whole week. Working from the house (telework), sharing full-time work with two employees (job sharing), family vacation programs (such as parental leave, parental leave, daycare, and financial/or information services on the premises). Changes are mostly due to a major cultural shift in the parental perspective, which means greater acceptability of educating girls that enable women to work outside their homes, contribute financially to their families and even pursue their careers. Women have to work hard to show them at work.
They have immense pressure. Career Women often express anxiety that they are unwilling to take on such a role and that they are challenged.’ The concerns of Indian women in most of the existing literature are mostly limited to technical issues that inhibit business activities. It was hypothesized that gender is a crucial moderating component when studying the interaction between job and personal life. In Whitehouse et al. (2008) the bulk of the family’s care obligations are the fairer sex, even if female participation in the workforce is largely acknowledged. Although the phenomenon is worldwide, for a developing country like India, the problem is particularly important. Reform in Indian society is sluggish yet, in a courageous transition to modernity, women clearly begun to struggle toward social change. This is not the responsibility of the man in India. It would take a long time in India to achieve equality between men and women.
