ABSTRACT: The changing nature at workplace coupled with changes in socio-cultural level has led to imbalance
in the work and personal lives of employees all over. Increasing demand, rising awareness
among women, increasing stress levels, increasing family levels etc., have made it difficult for people
to cope with their work and family lives. With increasing stress levels and demands at the
workplaces, attrition rate in organization is increasing. Therefore, the present day organizations
are required to create a flexible environment which would help employees to manage their work
and family together. This paper brings forth such issues and practices prevailing in Indian context.
