Throughout the years, the role of work has evolved and the composition of the workforce has changed. Today, work still is a necessity but it should be a source of personal satisfaction as well. One of the vehicles that assists in providing attainment of personal and professional goals is work- life benefits and programmes.

The first questionnaire was about various policies available within an organization and to what extent are they assisting employees in maintaining the work-life balance. The second questionnaire was aimed at exploring as to how people feel their work and personal relationships affect each other, and what workplaces could be doing to reap the benefits of good personal relationships. Findings: This report summarizes the findings of surveys for employees conducted in A, B and C.It shows that some of our sample population, both men and women, place a higher priority on their relationships than their paid work with nearly 30% having turned down a job, promotion or transfer because it would impact badly on their relationship.
