The changing dynamics of the workplace has forced the organizations to frame policies which are employee-centric. The workforce today is more dynamic and young in nature and wants to exude greater control over their work and life. The social structure of family is disintegrating more into nuclear families where both the parents are working. Pressures at work, competition, and target based management styles have resulted in increased pressure and also long working hours. The parents who overstay at work are continuously stressed out thinking of their child/children and associated responsibilities. The kids on the other hand feel neglected or may sometimes go astray, celebrate misadventures or bond in unfocussed companionships. The study explores the issues faced by such working parents and the surviving strategies adopted by them. The answers to a questionnaire administered on working parents has been analyzed to understand the underlying demographic as well as other variables to find out work-life imbalances. The findings of the study will benefit organizations as they will be able to design practices which focus on employee work/life issues and thus reap dividends. This will result in a more satisfied and productive workforce which is less stressed. Also such practices will result in the creation of employers' brand and the reputation of being an employer of choice.Keywords

The alarming rate of depleting limited natural resources is forcing inhabitants of the earth to find solution to the issue on a war footing. From Rio Summit to Rio+20 Summit to other brain storming sessions at regional and local level, stakeholders are striving hard to find a solution to the ecological imbalances and ways to restore environmental degradation. Are efforts at the macro-level being percolated to the bottom of the pyramid? It is essential to identify micro-level behavioural insights including psychological and socio-cultural factors that form the fabric of any society. This study aims to capture individual consciousness in accepting such practices that lead to sustainability. The paper discusses responses of the people in the city of Delhi to the strategies adopted for regulating environmental pollution due to vehicle movements. A survey was conducted on residents of Delhi to share their opinion on Odd Even Scheme, a road rationing initiated by the Government of Delhi to bring down armingly hazardous levels of pollutional. Data were evaluated with statistical techniques. The responses were mixed and indicated that constant motivation and reinforcement were needed to bring effectiveness.
However the level of social engagement due to the scheme was commendable.
