Work Life Balance
ABSTRACT
The study relate to the level of work-life balance of employees in Traffic Department at Chennai Port Trust.
There is a vital need in order to know the balance level of employees with regard to both their work and family or personal life since they play a major role in the functioning of the organization. If the work-life balance level is high, the functioning of the organization will be in a smooth and proper manner.
In this project, Descriptive Research design is adopted. Descriptive research studies are one which is concerned with describing the characteristics of particular individual or group.
The data which is collected is then undergone a limit of mathematical operations and later tabulated. Graphical tools such as bar chart, pie chart, etc. were adopted. Statistical tools such as Weighted Average and Chi-Square were also adopted. I am very much sure that this research will definitely help Chennai Port Trust in improving their employees’ work-life balance level.
The study reveals that 76% of the employees agree that they balance their overall work-life. About 70% of the employees disagree that they can set up their own performance goals in the organization and suggested that they too be allowed in setting goals in the organization. The suggestions and conclusion have been given finally.
