Preface
Employee engagement has been identified as critical to competitive advantage in a labour market where
skilled, committed people are increasingly hard to find and keep. Many of the factors that impact on
employee engagement have been identified, or at least speculated on. In this exploratory research, whether
supporting work-life balance results in a more engaged workforce which gives greater discretionary effort at
work.
We found that the answer is “yes, but….” The business benefits of increased employee engagement,
including improved retention, more discretionary effort and greater productivity, will only accrue if work-life
balance is genuinely valued and promoted throughout the workplace. The views and behaviour of senior
managers, line managers and colleagues all impact on whether employees feel able to take advantage of
workplace initiatives to achieve better balance in their working and personal lives. If the initiatives are there
but the workplace culture does not support the use of them, their value is at best minimal, at worst negative,
leading to cynicism and resentment.

Executive summary
 The concept of work-life balance has developed out of demographic and social changes that have
resulted in a more diverse and declining workforce and different family/work models. Encouraging
work-life balance is seen as a way of attracting and retaining the labour force needed to support
economic well-being.
 This review of research and literature in the areas or work-life balance, workplace culture, employee
engagement, discretionary effort and productivity aims to demonstrate the links between these factors.
 A body of research supports a positive relationship between work-life balance and productivity. This
includes individual case studies, statistical research across a range of organisations and reviews of a
number of studies. However, workplace culture is identified as an intermediary factor in whether work-
life balance is related to increased productivity. A positive correlation is dependent on a workplace
culture that supports using work-life initiatives.
 Key aspects of workplace culture that affect the link between work-life balance and productivity are
managerial support, career consequences, gender differences in attitudes and use, attitudes and
expectations of hours spent in the workplace, and perceptions of fairness in eligibility for work-life
options.
 “Discretionary effort” is the extent to which employees give extra effort to their work. It is one of the
outcomes of employee engagement, which also involves a mental and emotional commitment to the
job/organisation. Discretionary effort is given by an employee in exchange for some benefit and results
in increased productivity.
 Although little research has been done specifically linking support for work-life balance to
discretionary effort and employee engagement, the evidence to date indicates that a positive
relationship depends on workplace culture. It can be argued that workplaces can improve employee
engagement, discretionary effort and productivity by supporting work-life balance by means of a

people-centric culture that wholeheartedly supports work-life balance

Work-Life Balance
Work-life balance has been widely discussed since the launch of a major government campaign in 2000
(Changing Patterns in a Changing World, DfEE, 2000). This initiative was aimed at encouraging employers
to adopt flexible working arrangements such as job sharing, flexi-time, compressed hours and others, to help
their employees to achieve a better balance between the demands of paid employment and those arising from
their private life.
The concept of work-life balance is based on the notion that paid work and personal life should be seen less
as competing priorities than as complementary elements of a full life. The way to achieve this is to adopt an
approach that is “conceptualized as a two way process involving a consideration of the needs of employees
as well as those of employers” (Lewis, 2000: p.105). In order to engage employers in this process it is 6
important to demonstrate the benefits that can be derived from employment policies and practices that
support work-life balance, and the scope that exists for mitigating their negative effects on the management
of the business.
Work life balance matter to employers
The government’s promotion of the work-life balance campaign is based on the evidence that there is a
strong “business case” for adopting flexible working arrangements through their contribution to improved
recruitment and retention of staff, employee satisfaction and work productivity.
A major study funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and carried out on a nation-wide level by
researchers at the university of Cambridge (Dex and Smith, 2002), concluded that:
• There are positive effects on employee commitment from having family-friendly policies.
• Approximately nine out of every ten establishments with some experience of these policies found them cost
effective.
Introduction
Page | 7
• Increase in performance was associated with having one or other family-friendly policy in the case of five
out of six performance indicators. (Ibid: p.42)
In addition there is a significant body of evidence provided by major UK and world-wide employers such as
IBM, GlaxoSmithKline, BT, Lloyds TSB and others, which show that work life balance policies and
practices can bring clear benefits to their business (see The Business Case, DTsI, 2001 and A Good Practice
Guide, DFEE, 2000). There is a wealth of information that outlines the advantages of offering flexible and
special leave arrangements to employees in terms of improving staff recruitment, reducing turn-over,
absenteeism and the costs associated with all this as well as increasing
Employee satisfaction and productivity:
“There’s a very clear business imperative for us, as what distinguishes us from our competitors is the quality
of our people. Since we introduced 7 Work Options, morale has improved among individuals working
flexibly, leading to better productivity” (Fiona Cannon, Head of Equal Opportunities, Lloyds TSB, cited in
The Business Case, DTI, 2001: p.32).
“The more flexible you can be in your working hours, the better you can tackle absenteeism, which tends to
happen because people need to be somewhere else” (Linzi Payne, Director of Personnel at Huber + Suher,
cited in A Good Practice Guide for Employers, DfEE, 2000: p.10).
Work-life balance policies and practices are becoming increasingly important also to Higher Education
employers. An audit was carried out last year, by HEFCE, to look at flexible employment practices in HE
and identify examples of good practice (Scott, 2002). The HE Employers Association (UCEA) has produced
a set of guidelines to assist institutions to develop policies in support of flexible working arrangements. This
guide will also provide a number of examples of good practice from universities that have already identified
the benefits of adopting a work-life balance approach.
Furthermore the adoption of work-life balance policies and practices can improve an organization’s ability to
respond to customers’ demands for increased access to services and deal with changes in a way that can be
satisfactory to both employers and employees. This was the experience of Bristol City Council that was able
to meet its customers’ demands and extend the opening hours of public libraries to Sundays. As Kamaljit
Poonia, Equality Team Leader for the Council, explained:
Page | 8
“We have been able to meet the two fundamental principles which underpin the project: to maintain and
improve service delivery to the public, whilst meeting staff aspirations for a better work-life balance” (cited
in A Good Practice Guide for Employers, DfEE, 2000: p.16).
There is also evidence which suggests that employers who support a work-life balance ethos and offer
flexible working arrangements are likely to have a competitive advantage in the labour market; in particular
in relation to the new generation of employees. A survey carried out among 6,000 students in 44 universities
shows that ‘achieving a healthy work-life balance is the most important consideration for graduates when it
comes to choosing an 8 employer’ (Personnel Today, 2002). This is an important factor when taken in the
context of the estimate by the Employers’ Forum on Age that by 2020, 50% of the workforce will be over 50
years old and that the competition for younger talent is expected to become increasingly fierce. This
reinforces the conclusion from the other data that work-life balance policies and practices are an important,
and perhaps essential, recruitment tool.

Working days of employee per week
Interpretation
From the above graphsand Appendix 1and2, We can interpret that in Intas Pharmaceutical marketing people have
to work more than 5 or 6 days in a week to attain their target of sale while employee from other department like
production, quality control, quality assurance and workers work only for 6 days in week and they able to balance
theirworklife asgoodas compare to those marketingemployeesWhile aswe see more deeper, we can understand
that mostof the female are working for 6 days in a week belongs to Quality control department and workers while
some of female belongs to Quality Assurance department (QA) has to work for 7 days in week and due that these
female have more trouble inmaintainingWLB.Aswe see in the graph of Medico Lab, none of the marketing people
workfor 7 daysbut some of workers work for 7 days in a week. While in case of female employees we can see that
those female employees who work in QC department has to work for 7 days in a week. Some of the more
interpretation for this result can be that Medico Lab is small scale company and due to that marketing people has
fewertargetsascompare to international companyIntas’smarketingpeople.While in case of Documentation work,
inMedico Lab there are lessemployee ascompare toIntas anddue to work loadon employee is also increase which
become a factor for imbalance of work life balance.

Working Hours of employee per day
Interpretation
From the above graphs and appendix we can interpret that most of the workers of Intas pharmaceutical are
working for 7 to 8 hours in a days and this rate is also some at similar in Medico Lab. While as we see
deeper in sight we get that Quality assurance people in both the company are working for more than 8
hours in a day. Also the quality control people in Intas are working for 7 to 9 hours in a day while in Medico
Lab these kinds of employees are working more than 10 to 12 hours in a day. The main reason which we
found out during our survey behind this is that in Medico lab the management is also lacking at some
extent to make proper planning and due to that some time these people get more workload and sometime
they seating ideal. So improper management is also of the factors which here indirectly affect the
employees’ work life balance. Other interpretation which come out from these graph is that marketing
people of both the company has to work more than 10 to 12 hours and some of the reasons behind this are
like high monthly sales target, appointment with physician and brand name in case of medico lab marketing
employees.

Interpretation
As motivation factor is more important for the job, it is also help employee to keep their work life balanced.
From the graphs and attached appendix we can interpret that in the marketing, production, quality control
and quality assurance department employees get fairly motivation while high portion of worker think that
they neither are motivated nor de-motivated from the management side.

Rating of Work life
Interpretation
From the above graphs and appendix we can interpret that in Intas only some portion of production and
workers are able to manage their WLB with very good rating while major portion of all departments comes
in the average or good rating of WLB. But major portion of the marketing people are not able to maintain
their WLB and they come in the poor WLB category. While when we insight in Medico lab we can judge
that none of the member of workers, production and quality control department are able to manage their
WLB which very good rating while major portion of QC fall in the good balance of WLB. But major portion
of marketing and workers are not able to balance their WLB. During our survey we find that major portion of
the workers go for double shift and due to that they are not able to manage their WLB. But when we see
overall compares employees of Intas are more capable to manage their WLB as compare to Medico Lab.

Factors whichaffects WLB
Interpretation
From the above both graph we can compare how organizational professional issue affect the employees work
life balance and we also able to judge that which kind of personal issue employees phase during job and
which affect their work life balance. There is more work pressure on the employees of Medico Lab as
compare to Intas. Here we can priories’ the professional issue from the graph. Mostly influencing factor for
WLB as mentioned in sequence are work pressure at the top, target and deadline at the second, than come job
schedule, meeting hours, travelling and many more other minor professional factors. When we for personal
issue highly influencing one is family responsibility and than comes parenting issues and attending social
function and many more minor and different personal issues. So employees have to manage their

Interpretation
From the above graph we can interpret that workers never get tensed for their work when they are outside the
firm. But the employees of the other departments are tensed and thinking of their work and job also when
they are not at the working place. We can consider this as a work pressure which leads people to become
tensed and it also depends on the individual behavior. While in the medium scale company we can see that
major of the employees of different department not take tensed and not think for their work once they outside
the firm. When we deeply insight the graph we are able to know that marketing people are highly or always
get tensed and think about their work and job because marketing is one of the toughest job and it is highly
competitive segment and due to that employees of these segment always phase competition and due that they
bear high work pressure.

Interpretation
From the above graphs we can know that how the work load effect on health of employees and indirectly to
the work life balances of employees. When we compare the health of different department’s employees we
can see that mostly male of the marketing department phase the problems of health due to high work load
while production department employees ratio for physical problem due to work comparatively vey low.
When we go for overall compares we get new interpretation which saw that health of employees of
multinational companies are as good as compares to health of medium to small scale companies’ means
problems due to high work load on physical health is law in multinational companies as compare to medium
scale companies.

Policy which helpin WLB
Interpretation
From the above graphs we can clearly interpret the believe of the employees of both the companies are
almost same for the company policy which help them to balance their work life. But when we go for priority
side we can see that which of the company’s policy is more helpful to employees and more helpful to
maintain employees work life. Here we can see that mostly helpful policy is holidays and pay time off and
employees believe that this policy frequently become helpful for them work life balance. As we go deeper
we get other policies of the company which helps employees for WLB. The flow in descending order is
flexible starting time, flexible ending time, flexible hours during working hours, job sharing and many
others.

Interpretation:-
As perthe responsestrainingprogramismuchimportantandhelpful toemployees. Butattitude towardsthe training
program at both the organization is quite difference.
In IntasMarketingpeople saidthattrainingprogramisverymuch helpful forthembecause it gives them knowledge
of new marketing strategies and what is company’s new marketing plan for future.
On the otherside inMedicolab employeesfromproductionandQCdepartmenthave said it is more useful for them
because itgivesthemknowledge aboutnewproductionprocedureandnew techniqueandinstruments available for
Qualitative analysis.
Here, we can interpret that Intas is larger organization has good production facalities available so employees over
there like training program in Marketing,
Whereas Medico is smaller organization compare to Intas so employee over there would like to receive training
programs in Production and Qualitative Analysis.

Security for job
Interpretation:-
According to the responses what we have received are clearly seen that people working in Intas
Pharmaceutical feels that they are secure about their job.
Reasons behind this are like Intas has very much organized structure and every one works according to work
schedule.
It also shows that company has high growth rate during last 2 to 3 year.
Whereas Medico had unorganized structure and employee have more work pressure on them due to lower
growth rate.

Conclusion
Here, we can conclude that work life balance plays an important role in business environment. It is
responsibility of company to make a work-life balance of employee, because if the employees are not able to
give enough time to their family then they may become frustrated which affect their output negatively and
which ultimately affect company negatively. Most of women prefer a job in which they don’t go outside the
company.
Intas has a well structured organization structure than the Medico lab which shows that functioning of Intas
is smoother than the medico lab. Most of the employees are satisfied with intas but on other side employees
of medico lab are not satisfied with the organizations policies and functioning.
The reason behind is that Medico lab employees have more pressure than Intas pharmaceutical due to
improper plan about their work. Working pattern of both the company is quite similar in nature but the
handling of work life balance of employees is different.
In both company Most of the woman prefers a job in which they don’t go outside the company. Intas is quite
big in nature than the medico lab and also has particular structured working environment and better
management than Medico lab Pharmaceutical.
Therefore, in this case the employees of feel that they have a good work life than the medico lab.
"Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance you must keep moving."

Work-Life Balance Drives Employee Engagement and Productivity

  • 1. Page | 1 A PROJECT REPORT ON WORK-LIFE BALANCE MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMIMISTRATION Program of STEVENS BUSINESS SCHOOL GANDHINAGAR Submitted by: Submitted to: Nirav Patel Dr. Himani Joshi Mitesh Shah Academic Coordinator, Hiren Darji Stevens Business School Punit Laheru Bhupendra Zala Keyur Savalia
  • 2. Page | 2 Preface Employee engagement has been identified as critical to competitive advantage in a labour market where skilled, committed people are increasingly hard to find and keep. Many of the factors that impact on employee engagement have been identified, or at least speculated on. In this exploratory research, whether supporting work-life balance results in a more engaged workforce which gives greater discretionary effort at work. We found that the answer is “yes, but….” The business benefits of increased employee engagement, including improved retention, more discretionary effort and greater productivity, will only accrue if work-life balance is genuinely valued and promoted throughout the workplace. The views and behaviour of senior managers, line managers and colleagues all impact on whether employees feel able to take advantage of workplace initiatives to achieve better balance in their working and personal lives. If the initiatives are there but the workplace culture does not support the use of them, their value is at best minimal, at worst negative, leading to cynicism and resentment.
  • 3. Page | 3 Executive summary  The concept of work-life balance has developed out of demographic and social changes that have resulted in a more diverse and declining workforce and different family/work models. Encouraging work-life balance is seen as a way of attracting and retaining the labour force needed to support economic well-being.  This review of research and literature in the areas or work-life balance, workplace culture, employee engagement, discretionary effort and productivity aims to demonstrate the links between these factors.  A body of research supports a positive relationship between work-life balance and productivity. This includes individual case studies, statistical research across a range of organisations and reviews of a number of studies. However, workplace culture is identified as an intermediary factor in whether work- life balance is related to increased productivity. A positive correlation is dependent on a workplace culture that supports using work-life initiatives.  Key aspects of workplace culture that affect the link between work-life balance and productivity are managerial support, career consequences, gender differences in attitudes and use, attitudes and expectations of hours spent in the workplace, and perceptions of fairness in eligibility for work-life options.  “Discretionary effort” is the extent to which employees give extra effort to their work. It is one of the outcomes of employee engagement, which also involves a mental and emotional commitment to the job/organisation. Discretionary effort is given by an employee in exchange for some benefit and results in increased productivity.  Although little research has been done specifically linking support for work-life balance to discretionary effort and employee engagement, the evidence to date indicates that a positive relationship depends on workplace culture. It can be argued that workplaces can improve employee engagement, discretionary effort and productivity by supporting work-life balance by means of a

  • 6. Page | 6 Work-Life Balance Work-life balance has been widely discussed since the launch of a major government campaign in 2000 (Changing Patterns in a Changing World, DfEE, 2000). This initiative was aimed at encouraging employers to adopt flexible working arrangements such as job sharing, flexi-time, compressed hours and others, to help their employees to achieve a better balance between the demands of paid employment and those arising from their private life. The concept of work-life balance is based on the notion that paid work and personal life should be seen less as competing priorities than as complementary elements of a full life. The way to achieve this is to adopt an approach that is “conceptualized as a two way process involving a consideration of the needs of employees as well as those of employers” (Lewis, 2000: p.105). In order to engage employers in this process it is 6 important to demonstrate the benefits that can be derived from employment policies and practices that support work-life balance, and the scope that exists for mitigating their negative effects on the management of the business. Work life balance matter to employers The government’s promotion of the work-life balance campaign is based on the evidence that there is a strong “business case” for adopting flexible working arrangements through their contribution to improved recruitment and retention of staff, employee satisfaction and work productivity. A major study funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and carried out on a nation-wide level by researchers at the university of Cambridge (Dex and Smith, 2002), concluded that: • There are positive effects on employee commitment from having family-friendly policies. • Approximately nine out of every ten establishments with some experience of these policies found them cost effective. Introduction
  • 7. Page | 7 • Increase in performance was associated with having one or other family-friendly policy in the case of five out of six performance indicators. (Ibid: p.42) In addition there is a significant body of evidence provided by major UK and world-wide employers such as IBM, GlaxoSmithKline, BT, Lloyds TSB and others, which show that work life balance policies and practices can bring clear benefits to their business (see The Business Case, DTsI, 2001 and A Good Practice Guide, DFEE, 2000). There is a wealth of information that outlines the advantages of offering flexible and special leave arrangements to employees in terms of improving staff recruitment, reducing turn-over, absenteeism and the costs associated with all this as well as increasing Employee satisfaction and productivity: “There’s a very clear business imperative for us, as what distinguishes us from our competitors is the quality of our people. Since we introduced 7 Work Options, morale has improved among individuals working flexibly, leading to better productivity” (Fiona Cannon, Head of Equal Opportunities, Lloyds TSB, cited in The Business Case, DTI, 2001: p.32). “The more flexible you can be in your working hours, the better you can tackle absenteeism, which tends to happen because people need to be somewhere else” (Linzi Payne, Director of Personnel at Huber + Suher, cited in A Good Practice Guide for Employers, DfEE, 2000: p.10). Work-life balance policies and practices are becoming increasingly important also to Higher Education employers. An audit was carried out last year, by HEFCE, to look at flexible employment practices in HE and identify examples of good practice (Scott, 2002). The HE Employers Association (UCEA) has produced a set of guidelines to assist institutions to develop policies in support of flexible working arrangements. This guide will also provide a number of examples of good practice from universities that have already identified the benefits of adopting a work-life balance approach. Furthermore the adoption of work-life balance policies and practices can improve an organization’s ability to respond to customers’ demands for increased access to services and deal with changes in a way that can be satisfactory to both employers and employees. This was the experience of Bristol City Council that was able to meet its customers’ demands and extend the opening hours of public libraries to Sundays. As Kamaljit Poonia, Equality Team Leader for the Council, explained:
  • 8. Page | 8 “We have been able to meet the two fundamental principles which underpin the project: to maintain and improve service delivery to the public, whilst meeting staff aspirations for a better work-life balance” (cited in A Good Practice Guide for Employers, DfEE, 2000: p.16). There is also evidence which suggests that employers who support a work-life balance ethos and offer flexible working arrangements are likely to have a competitive advantage in the labour market; in particular in relation to the new generation of employees. A survey carried out among 6,000 students in 44 universities shows that ‘achieving a healthy work-life balance is the most important consideration for graduates when it comes to choosing an 8 employer’ (Personnel Today, 2002). This is an important factor when taken in the context of the estimate by the Employers’ Forum on Age that by 2020, 50% of the workforce will be over 50 years old and that the competition for younger talent is expected to become increasingly fierce. This reinforces the conclusion from the other data that work-life balance policies and practices are an important, and perhaps essential, recruitment tool.

  • 23. Page | 23 Working days of employee per week Interpretation From the above graphsand Appendix 1and2, We can interpret that in Intas Pharmaceutical marketing people have to work more than 5 or 6 days in a week to attain their target of sale while employee from other department like production, quality control, quality assurance and workers work only for 6 days in week and they able to balance theirworklife asgoodas compare to those marketingemployeesWhile aswe see more deeper, we can understand that mostof the female are working for 6 days in a week belongs to Quality control department and workers while some of female belongs to Quality Assurance department (QA) has to work for 7 days in week and due that these female have more trouble inmaintainingWLB.Aswe see in the graph of Medico Lab, none of the marketing people workfor 7 daysbut some of workers work for 7 days in a week. While in case of female employees we can see that those female employees who work in QC department has to work for 7 days in a week. Some of the more interpretation for this result can be that Medico Lab is small scale company and due to that marketing people has fewertargetsascompare to international companyIntas’smarketingpeople.While in case of Documentation work, inMedico Lab there are lessemployee ascompare toIntas anddue to work loadon employee is also increase which become a factor for imbalance of work life balance.

  • 24. Page | 24 Working Hours of employee per day Interpretation From the above graphs and appendix we can interpret that most of the workers of Intas pharmaceutical are working for 7 to 8 hours in a days and this rate is also some at similar in Medico Lab. While as we see deeper in sight we get that Quality assurance people in both the company are working for more than 8 hours in a day. Also the quality control people in Intas are working for 7 to 9 hours in a day while in Medico Lab these kinds of employees are working more than 10 to 12 hours in a day. The main reason which we found out during our survey behind this is that in Medico lab the management is also lacking at some extent to make proper planning and due to that some time these people get more workload and sometime they seating ideal. So improper management is also of the factors which here indirectly affect the employees’ work life balance. Other interpretation which come out from these graph is that marketing people of both the company has to work more than 10 to 12 hours and some of the reasons behind this are like high monthly sales target, appointment with physician and brand name in case of medico lab marketing employees. 0 5 10 15 20 Intas - Working hours Marketing Production QC QA Worker 0 5 10 15 20 25 Medico - Workinghours Marketing Production QC QA Worker

But major portion of the marketing people are not able to maintain their WLB and they come in the poor WLB category.

  • 29. Page | 29 Interpretation From the above graph we can interpret that workers never get tensed for their work when they are outside the firm. But the employees of the other departments are tensed and thinking of their work and job also when they are not at the working place. We can consider this as a work pressure which leads people to become tensed and it also depends on the individual behavior. While in the medium scale company we can see that major of the employees of different department not take tensed and not think for their work once they outside the firm. When we deeply insight the graph we are able to know that marketing people are highly or always get tensed and think about their work and job because marketing is one of the toughest job and it is highly competitive segment and due to that employees of these segment always phase competition and due that they bear high work pressure.

  • 36. Page | 36 Conclusion Here, we can conclude that work life balance plays an important role in business environment. It is responsibility of company to make a work-life balance of employee, because if the employees are not able to give enough time to their family then they may become frustrated which affect their output negatively and which ultimately affect company negatively. Most of women prefer a job in which they don’t go outside the company. Intas has a well structured organization structure than the Medico lab which shows that functioning of Intas is smoother than the medico lab. Most of the employees are satisfied with intas but on other side employees of medico lab are not satisfied with the organizations policies and functioning. The reason behind is that Medico lab employees have more pressure than Intas pharmaceutical due to improper plan about their work. Working pattern of both the company is quite similar in nature but the handling of work life balance of employees is different. In both company Most of the woman prefers a job in which they don’t go outside the company. Intas is quite big in nature than the medico lab and also has particular structured working environment and better management than Medico lab Pharmaceutical. Therefore, in this case the employees of feel that they have a good work life than the medico lab. "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." Albert Einstein
