Abstract


It aims to increase an insight into current working life policies and practices, as well as work-life balance issues of employees. Quality of Work Life (QWL) provides for the balanced relationship among work, non- work and family aspects of life. In other words, family life and social life should not be strained by working hours including overtime work, work during inconvenient hours, business travel, transfers, vacations, etc. This report is formulated after a thorough research and is based on the information given by the company employees. Primary data is collected through questionnaire and secondary data 1s collected from company's records & websites. The primary data was analyzed with the help of statistical tool simple percentage analysis, Chi-square Test and one way ANOVA. Findings were drawn and appropriate suggestions are given to improve the job rotation process, and to provide effective training session to the Employees. From the study we can understand that mutually convenient time and Place for discussion about the Quality of Work Life should be scheduled and enough time and privacy should be needed.
