Work Life Balance and Happiness in the Workplace

By Ndedi Alain

The concept of Work-Life balance is one of the most discussed subjects during the last decade in human resource management and in intrapreneurship. Some say it is impossible, and some say it is vital to the success of an organisation. Regardless, the first step to achieving work life balance is to understand what it is and how it helps. Work-life balance is basically the positive relationship between work and other equally important activities in life which include family leisure, friends and other activities that contribute to a happy life. The relationship can't be clearly defined and varies from person to person according to their personality and life demands. It's important to notice the word, "relationship," meaning that this is not a contest or a scale that must be balanced. It's an interaction of ideas that satisfied the needs in an individual life. In general, Work and Life are not separate spheres. It is said, in general because some entrepreneurs associate their work in their life. The concept of work-life balance is not just associated with women or busy high executives. It is a process applicable to everyone to increase the level of employee workplace productivity.
