Work-life balance

Work-life balance refers to the equilibrium between an individual’s professional responsibilities and personal life. It is the concept of ensuring that the demands of one’s job do not overwhelm personal time or negatively impact one’s family, health, or leisure activities. Achieving work-life balance involves managing time effectively to allow for both career advancement and personal fulfillment. Factors that influence work-life balance include work hours, job flexibility, organizational support, and personal choices regarding prioritization of work versus family or self-care. A healthy work-life balance is associated with increased job satisfaction, reduced stress, and improved overall well-being.
