Worklife Balance of Employees in Public Sector Bank with Special Reference to Bank of Baroda in Thrissur District

Abstract: Recent years have seen a major increase in interest in the concept of work-life balance, especially in the banking industry where employees frequently deal with stress and high demands. This study is on how employees at the Bank of Baroda, an Indian public sector bank located in the Thrissur District; manage their work and personal lives. Examining the variables affecting work-life balance and how it affects worker productivity and well-being is the main goal. Working hours, job happiness, organisational support, and obligations to one's personal life are important factors. The study also looks at how age, marital status, and gender affect people's experiences with work-life balance. The results indicate that extended work hours and other factors make it difficult for Bank of Baroda workers in the Thrissur District to balance their personal and professional life. Work-life balance has been found to be positively impacted by organisational support mechanisms such employee assistance programs and flexible work schedules. The report emphasises that in order to improve worker satisfaction and productivity, public sector banks must adopt stronger work-life balance regulations. In addition to highlighting the significance of work-life balance in the banking industry, this study offers policymakers and bank management practical advice on how to foster a more encouraging workplace culture. Public sector banks like the Bank of Baroda can raise organisational performance, lower attrition rates, and increase overall employee well-being by attending to the demands of their workforce in terms of work-life balance.
