Work –Life Balance of Crane operators in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, Trichy

Abstract

A dynamic economy and an aging workforce can collaboratively foster an environment where proficient employees, dissatisfied in their current roles, find motivation. A workforce actively engaged in their tasks proves to be 50% more productive than their unengaged counterparts. Recognizing this, a majority of HR professionals emphasize the significance of employee engagement for organizational success in today's competitive marketplace. Employee engagement has evolved into a critical aspect of organizational dynamics. In the contemporary work landscape, achieving a healthy work-life balance is increasingly vital for engagement and is a key component of overall employee satisfaction. The concept of work-life balance gained prominence in 1986 in the United States, highlighting the repercussions of individuals making unhealthy life choices, prioritizing work-related goals at the expense of neglecting other crucial areas such as family and social connections. To delve into the intricacies of work-life balance, a study was conducted focusing on crane operators employed at Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited in Trichy. These employees participated by providing responses to a well-structured questionnaire, ensuring the confidentiality of their information. The data collected was subjected to analysis using percentage analysis, Simple Ranking, and Henry Garrett Ranking methodologies.
