Work life Balance

There has been an increase in the work demands in the second half of the 20^th century, which ultimately reduced time available for family and personal leisure and relaxation. The imbalance between working hours and personal hours with reduction in the later has emphasised on the importance of the work-life balance programmes that can facilitate employees to maintain balance and address conflicts of demands from workplace and personal and social life. Within this context, this study aims to conduct research on work-life balance of employees in Sultanate of Oman (Oman) and to explore the role of local businesses in facilitating employees to maintain work-life balance. The survey results indicate that the work-life balance of Omani employees is disturbed. There is increased workload, long working hours which in turn cause stress and tiredness.
