The Role of Hr in Promoting Work-Life Balance Among Employees: A Cross-Cultural Study

Abstract

The focus of this research is on how human resources can bridge cultural gaps to help their international workforce achieve work-life harmony. The study is grounded in the theory of work-life balance, which stresses the importance of a well-rounded existence for workers. The cultural dimension hypothesis is also used in the study since it shows that people from different cultures may have different perspectives on what constitutes a healthy work-life balance. Data from employees in a variety of nations and cultural settings was gathered using a mixed-methods research strategy, which entailed both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Descriptive and statistical analysis of the data are used in the study. The research concludes that human resources play a significant role in encouraging a healthy work-life balance, especially in international settings where workers' expectations and values may vary. Flexible work schedules, employee support programs, and open lines of communication are just some of the HR practices like these that were singled out in the report as having a positive impact on work-life balance. There are major ramifications for future study and for actual practice based on this one. It adds to our knowledge of HR's efforts to improve employees' work-life balance, particularly in international settings. Researchers also offered concrete suggestions for HR professionals and governments interested in fostering a better work-life balance. This research fills a gap in the literature by examining how human resources may help employees achieve work-life harmony in a variety of cultural settings. The study's mixed-methods research style and emphasis on cross-cultural variations make it novel and insightful.
