As an industry, IT provides promising opportunities for the economic and personal advancement of everyone, including the women. Employed women play a more dynamic and pivotal role meeting the challenge. Women show great level of commitment in both phases of work and family. Work- life balance emerged as major issue interfering in the career progression of women. It explores the main barriers to women's career development. Due to structural changes in family patterns, and the demands in modern working life, reconciliation of work and family has become the key issue in the society. Henceforth the focus on adjustment strategies on the emotional dimensions becomes essential to achieve a balance in life, for employed women.
