<![CDATA[Work-life balance is a critical factor influencing employee well-being, job satisfaction, and workforce retention. This study explores the systemic challenges associated with work-life balance, particularly in high-pressure professions such as healthcare. A systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed to analyze research related to work-life balance, occupational stress, and employee support systems. The findings reveal a strong correlation between institutional policies, organizational culture, and the prevalence of burnout, with gender disparities playing a significant role in work-life integration challenges.

This study underscores the necessity for continued research on long-term policy effectiveness and the impact of emerging workplace technologies on work-life balance. By implementing structured and inclusive policies, organizations can create a sustainable and productive workforce that benefits both employees and institutions.]]>
