Strategies For Effective Work Life Management And Their Impact On Organizational Performance

Abstract

Purpose: The study investigates work-life management (WLM) tactics and how they affect organisational performance in the four-star hotel sector. Research Design: The study uses a quantitative research approach to investigate the opinions of HR professionals from Hyderabad's four-star hotels about work-life balance (WLB) programmes and their effects on the organisation. A structured questionnaire was used to gather information about different WLM techniques. Research Gap: Although there is a growing interest in the topic, most studies are Western-centric, and there is limited exploration in developing countries like India. Cultural norms, family structures, and structural hierarchies vary significantly, affecting stratagem effectiveness. There is found a gap between the existence of policy and actual employee uptake. Further, it is also noticed that organisational culture and administrative support often control whether policies are used effectively. This topic also lacks comparative studies across industries such as education, healthcare, IT, banking, etc. Result: The results underscore the importance of HR specialists in the hospitality industry and the necessity of well-designed WLB guidelines. High employee turnover highlights the need for efficient HR strategies by pointing to persistent difficulties in hiring and retaining staff. Employee Assistance Programs, sabbatical leave, and time-off policies are identified in the survey as important WLB efforts that employees value. On-site childcare and job sharing both improve organisational performance; however, some work-life initiatives seem less successful than others, indicating that more effective implementation techniques are required. Flexible work arrangements, such as remote work, shortened workweeks, and flexible scheduling, have also been shown to improve employee well-being. In order to enhance work happiness, retention, and overall performance in the hospitality sector, the study concludes that companies should place a high priority on flexibility, employee wellness, and family-friendly policies.
