Work-Life Balance and Its Impact on Employee Satisfaction:

ABSTRACT This research paper explores the connection between work-life balance and employee satisfaction, using Infosys Limited as a case study. In today’s fast-paced and competitive work environment, employees often face challenges in balancing their professional responsibilities with their personal lives. A healthy work-life balance is important for reducing stress, improving mental and emotional well- being, and increasing overall job satisfaction. The study uses a descriptive research and analytical design and gathers primary data through a structured questionnaire filled out by 100 employees of Infosys. The data was analyzed using basic statistical tools such as percentages, charts, and correlation analysis to understand trends and relationships. The results show a strong positive correlation between effective work-life balance practices—such as flexible working hours, paid leave, remote working options, and employee support programs—and higher employee satisfaction. Most employees reported feeling more productive, motivated, and loyal to the organization when their personal needs were respected and supported by the company. The study also reviews existing HR policies at Infosys and finds that while many useful initiatives are in place, there is room for improvement in areas like workload management, mental health support, and employee feedback systems. Based on the findings, the paper offers practical recommendations to help Infosys and similar organizations further improve employee well-being, retention, and long-term success.
