Abstract Work-life balance is the term used to describe those practices at workplace that acknowledge and aim to support the needs of employees in achieving a balance between the demands of their family (life) and work lives. It refers to the flexible working arrangements that allow both parents and non-parents to avail of working arrangements that provide a balance between work responsibilities and personal responsibilities. It is to describe policies that have been previously termed 'family-friendly', but are now extended beyond the scope of the family. It is about helping staff to maintain healthy, rewarding lifestyles that will in turn lead to improvements in productivity and performance. The researchers have conducted the study in Khadi and Village Industries Trust, (KVIT)Gandhigram, Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu, India.The main objectives of this study were to know about the level of work life balance among women employees in KVIT, to identify the gap between the work life and family life, to identify the factors to improve work life balance among women employees and to suggest strategies to maintain a healthy work life balance. The study analyzed whether there was a balance between their work and everyday life, social life, health and family life such as comfortable working conditions, attending family works as well as personal work and improving the factors towards Work -life balance. The data were collected with the help of pre-tested Interview Schedule on a five – point Likert Scale. Convenient sampling method was used for data collection from 50 women respondents working in KVIT. The collected data were analyzed by using appropriate statistical tools such as one way ANOVA ‘f’ test and chi- square test. The study also identified the existing barriers to Work- life balance in the organization, whether the management was taking any initiative to manage Work-life balance of women employees, the employees’ perception about managing Work- life balance and the causes of stress affecting the Work- life balance and how to improve their performance and job satisfaction in the working organization. The major findings of this study show that • There is no significant difference between experience of respondents and their Work- life balance. • There is no significant difference between stress affecting the Work- life balance and their job satisfaction. • There is significant association between working environment and Work- life balance. The study may be helpful to reduce sickness and absenteeism, to enhance working relationship among the co-workers, to increase the level of production and satisfaction and to decrease stress and burn out of the women employees. It may set as a model to similar Gandhian Organizations. Key words: Work- life balance, Working Environment, Job Satisfaction, Gandhian Organizations.
