Abstract
This study investigates work–life balance (WLB) among a sample of 100
employees at Jindal Steel & Power Ltd (JSPL), Raigarh plant, using
structured questionnaires and follow-up interviews supplemented by company reports.
Results show that all respondents work six days per week, with the majority (over
90%) logging 7–9 hours each day. Although 86% of employees report that they are
able to manage work and life demands, a substantial 70% admit they sometimes or
often miss quality family or personal time due to work pressure. Every
participant is aware of a formal JSPL WLB policy, but only about 42% cite any
form of flexible scheduling (e.g. variable start/end times) as part of it.
Instead, a majority (58%) rely primarily on paid leave (holiday or personal
leave) to achieve balance. In coping with stress, most employees engage in
informal activities (49% listen to music) rather than structured wellness
practices (only 7% report doing yoga). These findings suggest that while JSPL
provides supportive facilities (such as exercise centers and health camps) that
promote employee well-being, gaps remain in how these policies are implemented
and tailored to individual needs. The study concludes by recommending expanded
flexible work arrangements and enhanced wellness programs to further improve
employee balance and productivity, which in turn can help reduce burnout and
absenteeism.
