Today is your holiday and you want to enjoy it with your family. Everything is planned well in advance, the whole family is very excited and when you get in the car you get a call from the office that there is something urgent to take care of. So you have no choice but to just deal with the problem. Meanwhile, the family is sitting in the car waiting for you. By the time you solve an office problem, the whole family waiting for you is upset. Your family travel plans are going to be a toss. This is a situation that many corporate employees often face. Therefore, it is important to balance work life with family life. The balance between the two is called work-life balance.
