Why Work-life Balance is Important?

Individuals' attitudes toward work can influence them – they may be overachievers, perfectionists, or compulsive workers, all of whom are stereotyped as workaholics who spend more time than necessary, sacrificing other activities.

Fremont, CA: work-life balance has always been a problem for people who began working outside the home and did not have the usual level of control over their working hours or the responsibilities assigned to them at work. With the ongoing coronavirus 2019 (covid-19) pandemic causing high unemployment rates in many countries around the world, it may appear ironic to discuss work-life balance. However, regardless of how urgent the need for employment is, it is critical to understand how individuals can experience satisfaction both inside and outside of working hours.
