Work-life balance is an important part of any company's employees, as emphasis is placed on the balance between personal and professional life. Based on work-life balance, working women can organize their personal and work lives more efficiently and effectively.

Work-life balance is about making time each day for family, friends, community involvement, holiness, personal growth, self-care, and other personal activities in addition to the challenges of the workplace.
