Work-Life Balance

The equilibrium between an employee's professional and personal life.

Full Definition

Work-life balance refers to the degree to which an employee can successfully manage the competing demands of their professional and personal life — including family, health, social activities, and leisure. Poor work-life balance is a leading driver of burnout, disengagement, and voluntary turnover. Employers can support work-life balance through flexible and remote working policies, reasonable workload management, encouraging leave uptake, and fostering a culture where employees feel safe to disconnect outside working hours.
