Work-life balance, often referred to as work-family balance
or life-work balance, refers to an employee’s ability to
minimize stress by having an adequate balance between
the responsibilities of work and home life.

its workforce, it is important to understand how family-friendly policies impact employee stability and productivity
and therefore create benefits for the employer.
