Abstract: Increased globalisation and modernisation over the last decade have led to a greater focus on firms adopting work-life balance (WLB) policies to increase employee preservation. This research examines the relevance of work-life balance programmes and policies and their impact on organisational outcomes. Due to demographic and socioeconomic shifts, work-life balance (WLB) has become a significant issue for many businesses. This study intended to re-examine the idea of work-life balance from the perspective of employees in the banking and IT sectors. According to the results, work-life balance is influenced by an organisation's family work culture and personal characteristics such as time management and family support. There were no noticeable variations regarding work-life balance between workers with different family structures and those in the two analysed sectors. A recent poll reveals that IT, airline and banking personnel have similar perspectives on work-life balance.
