Briefly About Work Life Balance
Work-life balance is a program that helps to better integrate employees work and life
responsibility (Milkovish, 2011). Balance is not simply for two earners couples, but it is the
three way juggling of his job , her job , and their family goals and responsibilities. Women will
experience greater conflict in trying to balance their work and family responsibilities. Positive
satisfaction levels in the work-family domain significantly influence an individuals life
satisfaction (Aryee et al.1999).
