Work-life balance has become one of the most important factors influencing employee productivity, job satisfaction, and overall well-being in modern organizations. This study titled “Impact of Work-Life Balance on Employee Productivity and Well-Being” aims to understand the extent to which work-life balance practices affect employees’ mental health, motivation, performance levels, and general quality of life.

Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale. The survey measured factors such as workload, shift schedules, flexibility, organizational support, stress levels, burnout, and personal life satisfaction. Responses were obtained from over 100 employees across different departments. Statistical tools such as percentage analysis were used to interpret the findings.

The results revealed that employees with better work-life balance demonstrated higher productivity, lower stress levels, greater job satisfaction, and improved well-being. Conversely, long working hours, excessive workload, and lack of flexibility significantly contributed to stress, fatigue, and reduced performance. The study also found differences in perception based on age, experience, and job roles. Employees expressed the need for flexible working hours, reduced workload, mental health support, and supportive leadership.

The study concludes that maintaining a healthy work-life balance is crucial not only for employee well-being but also for improving productivity and organizational efficiency. The research recommends implementing flexible work policies, regular stress-management programs, balanced workload distribution, and a supportive work culture to ensure holistic employee development.
