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: Report on Work Life Balace

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: Report on Work Life Balace

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 graphs and Appendix 1 and 2, 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

their work life as good as compare to those marketing employees While as we see more deeper, we can understand

that most of 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 in maintaining WLB. As we see in the graph of Medico Lab, none of the marketing people

work for 7 days but 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

fewer targets as compare to international company Intas’s marketing people. While in case of Documentation work,

in Medico Lab there are less employee as compare to Intas and due to work load on 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.

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 which affects 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

professional as well as personal issues to maintain their WLB.

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 help in 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 per the responses training program is much important and helpful to employees. But attitude towards the training

program at both the organization is quite difference.

In Intas Marketing people said that training program is very much helpful for them because it gives them knowledge

of new marketing strategies and what is company’s new marketing plan for future.

On the other side in Medico lab employees from production and QC department have said it is more useful for them

because it gives them knowledge about new production procedure and new technique and instruments 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.

To keep your balance you must keep moving." Albert Einstein
