Fostering Employee Well-Being: The Impact of Work-Life Balance Policies on Organizational Productivity

Abstract

Improving employee well-being has become a top priority for modern organizations due to its significant impact on productivity. The work-life balance policy is recognized as an important strategy to reduce conflicts between work and personal responsibilities, improve employee welfare, and strengthen organizational performance. This study aims to analyze the impact of work-life balance policies on employee welfare and how the implementation of these policies affects the overall productivity of the organization. This study uses a literature study method by analyzing various studies in the last five years. The results of the study show that policies such as work flexibility, mental health programs, and family leave have a positive impact on job satisfaction, employee engagement, and loyalty to the organization. In addition, the implementation of this policy effectively increases productivity through reducing attendance and turnover rates. Inclusive strategies such as employee involvement in policy evaluations and active supervisor support contribute to creating a harmonious and sustainable work environment. These findings underscore the importance of work-life balance policies as a strategic tool to improve individual well-being while ensuring organizational success. The suggestions put forward include increasing stress management training, periodic policy evaluations, and developing policies based on employee needs to support long-term productivity.
