Abstract: Work-life balance means that one can manage work and family or personal responsibilities so that they don't interfere with each other. With the fast pace of life and advancements in technology, being constantly connected has made it more difficult to maintain this balance. Yet, against all these barriers, a healthy work-life balance is vital to an individual's health because it influences physical health, mental stability, satisfaction at work, and personal well-being. People who achieve this balance generally have less stress, fewer opportunities for burnout, and better quality of life. They also exhibit enhanced concentration, creativity, and productivity at work. Organizations have a significant role in encouraging work-life balance by providing flexible work arrangements, telecommuting, and supportive leadership. Workplaces that have wellness programs and open communication build a positive environment where employees feel appreciated and encouraged. When leaders allocate workloads successfully and promote frequent breaks, morale increases and turnover is decreased. On an individual basis, balance between work and life involves establishing clear boundaries, using time well, and taking care of oneself by exercising regularly, resting, and relaxing mentally. Avoiding work communication outside the office environment is crucial for mental health, particularly in hybrid or remote work environments. Finally, balance between work and life is a process that continues. When both employees and employers adopt it, the outcome is a healthier, engaged, and stable workforce.
