Introduction:-Organizations across sectors are undergoing rapid changes because of increased market demand and the growing expectations of the stakeholders. Effective management of these changes are a necessity today in order to stay afloat. Several factors such as employee engagement, work culture and leadership are found to be the influencing factors in determining the effectiveness of management of these changes. Work-life Balance (WLB) has become an added dimension and a critical factor in the management of changes. Many research studies also indicate that the millennial generation entering today's workforce have a preference for organizations that support Work-life Balance. They are reluctant to sacrifice their personal lives for enormous work demands and are more likely to leave jobs with poor Work-life Balance. They are more willing to do the jobs that are rewarding, have flexible environment and that create a well-built personal life outside work.
