Abstract
In this Challenging environment, women employees are struggling hard to manage their professional and personal lives, balancing both career and family is a difficult task for working women because they faces dual burden of work and family. Today every individual has to balance conflicting responsibilities and commitments. Thus work-life balance has emerged as a predominant issue in the workplace. Work-life imbalance usually arises out of a lack of adequate time and/or support to manage work commitments as well as personal and family responsibilities. Meeting competing demands of work and family is not only tiring but can be stressful and can lead to sickness and absenteeism. During the early nineties we can hardly find an Indian woman at banking sector. But now, the scenario is changed. The participation of women in workforce is increasing day by day in service sector thus in Financial and Banking sector is one of the biggest sector where the maximum women workforce are participated themselves in diversified areas. With the continuous growth in the banking and financial sector, the new windows of opportunity is created for women. This paper explored the impact of work life balance on job satisfaction among married women employees in the banks of NCR. A sample of 300 married woman employees was taken and the data was gathered through questionnaire and analyzed through Excel. In this paper we will concentrate on the changing needs of work life balance policies (WLBP’s) especially for married women in Public and Private Banks to evaluate and redesign their current HR strategies in order to retain their existing employees and recruit new women professional in a competitive Banking Sector.
