The present study strives to develop a reliable and valid scale to measure the work/life balance among the working professionals. Achieving the balance between work and personal life is becoming increasingly difficult due to the pressure current society has placed on individuals. This paper attempts to define what work/life balance is and identifies the benefits it can bring from both employer and employee perspectives. It also examines the complications in achieving the balance between work and personal goals and discusses the current trends and solutions organizations have in place for their employees to assist in achieving the balance between work and their life. In today's competitive society work/life balance is considered important by many. Australian organizations are rapidly looking for ways of making their employee lives well balanced between work and family. Many organizations are reluctant to implement flexible work conditions due to concerns about the cost implications. Many Work-life balance policies and practices do not have any actual cost implications but rely on a more imaginative approach to everyday working conditions (Hughes et al, 2007). Flexible working arrangements such as flexible working hours, part-time/job share arrangements, unpaid leave; work from home arrangements doesn't cost organizations much. This paper explores the many definitions of work/life balance, including the benefits for employers and employees. Further, it outlines the need for work life balance in an organization and provides recommendations and strategies for developing work/life balance agendas. In conclusion, the paper makes recommendations for Human resource professionals in implementing success work life balance policies on their organizations to gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace..
