Abstract

Work life balance WLB refers to the level of prioritization between personal and professional activities in an individual’s life and the level to which activities related to their job are present in the home. A balanced life is one where we spread our energy and effort – emotional, intellectual, imaginative, spiritual and physical – between key areas of importance. Work life balance is not mere related to work and life it is the positive state of mind.
