This research explores the idea of work-life balance (WLB) and how it affects employee productivity at Abhilashi University Chail Chowk, located in District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. In today’s work environment, achieving a balance between job obligations and personal life has become more difficult, especially in academic settings where staff are involved in teaching, research, and administrative roles. The main aim of this study is to assess the current state of work-life balance among employees and to examine its effect on their productivity. The study also identifies key factors affecting WLB, such as workload, working hours, organizational support, and personal commitments. A descriptive research design is adopted, and data is collected through structured questionnaires distributed among faculty and staff members. The findings of the study indicate a strong positive relationship between work-life balance and employee productivity. Employees who achieve a healthy equilibrium between their professional responsibilities and personal lives generally demonstrate higher levels of job satisfaction, better performance, and increased efficiency. In contrast, an unhealthy work-life balance can result in stress, burnout, and lower productivity. The research concludes that the implementation of effective work-life balance strategies, such as flexible work schedules, reasonable workloads, and supportive organizational practices, can greatly improve employee productivity and overall well-being. These results emphasize the significance of cultivating a balanced work atmosphere in educational institutions for sustainable organizational development.
