Balancing Dual Roles: How Work-Life Integration Affects Productivity of Women in Tech

The work-life balance (WLB) of women employees in information technology (IT) organizations is significantly impacted by a few aspects that are identified in this research paper. For women, WLB is a serious worry. In the current situation, women employees' productivity and time that they would have otherwise spent with their families are being drained by the organization's long work hours. A balanced diet, regular exercise and fitness, yoga and meditation, getting enough sleep, and engaging in hobbies were the personal enhancers of WLB that had the biggest influence. In India, men have traditionally been the only ones allowed to earn money, while women are expected to take care of the home, work as domestic helpers, bear children, and do all household duties. However, today's women actively contribute to the family's economic growth by working in a variety of industries, including education and hospitality. The current global competitive environment has forced corporate companies to create a variety of welfare policies that are compatible with women in order to capitalize on the unrealized potential of the female workforce, and infrastructure has significantly encouraged women to hold prominent positions in the corporate world. Women work 40–45 hours a week on average, and roughly 53% of them struggle to integrate their personal and professional lives or strike a work-life balance. The study's main goal is to determine the different obstacles that women professionals in the IT industry encounter as well as the variables that could affect how well these professionals integrate their personal and professional lives. Women work between 40 and 45 hours a week on average, and roughly 53% of them struggle to blend work and personal life or find a work-life balance. Finding out what obstacles women workers in the IT industry encounter and what factors might affect how well they integrate their work and personal lives is the study's main goal.
