In today’s corporate landscape, the importance of work-life balance is increasingly recognised, with a 2023 study by the American Psychological Association revealing that 92% of employees value companies prioritising their emotional well-being. However, 77% still experience high work-related stress. As mental health expert Prakriti Poddar notes: “A balanced, emotionally healthy workforce is critical to success for everyone.” Employees who establish boundaries and incorporate well-being practices report enhanced productivity and job satisfaction. Employers also benefit, as demonstrated by a 2022 trial of a four-day workweek, where 97% of participants preferred the shorter week, citing improved productivity. Achieving work-life balance requires collaboration between employees and employers, emphasising the need for flexibility and support in the workplace.
