Future Direction
There is global trend to achieving work-life balance with family friendly policies and other practices and procedures in the workplace which will enables employees to balance the demands of work with their personal needs and yet fulfilling the bottom line aspirations of organisations. In doing so employees will also fulfill their own material, physical and spiritual aspirations.

The developed countries ranging from USA and Canada to Britain and Australia are progressively introducing work-life balance policies and practices in workplace. With Singapore adopting most of the better business policies and practices, work-life balance will become a necessary standard in our workplaces.

Human Resources executives and managers who may not have had any training in work life strategies or a limited understanding of the subject have to acquire knowledge and skills so that they can develop practical work life balance solutions which are compatible with the overall business strategy of the organisation and suited to local needs . This learning may include besides reading appropriate literature on the experiences of other organisations and generic text; attending a variety of workshops that will help them develop workable work life balance solutions.
