Preferred term
work/life balance
Definition
- Work/life balance is the precarious art of men's and women's balancing act of their multiple roles and responsibilities associated with engagement in paid work and unpaid activities, such as family care, community service, professional development, and self-care. This also involves mechanisms that employers enact to help employees effectively handle work/life pressures so that they can be more productive and achieve their goals.
