Abstract
The paper looks into the work-life balance (WLB) of workers in Apitoria Pharma Private Limited, one of the leading pharmaceutical manufacturing firms that have been under high performance pressure, regulatory demands, and stringent production schedules. The study examines the ways in which employees juggle between their work and personal life in a stressful work setting and evaluates organizational policies that enable or inhibit such a balance. The paper will emphasize the correlation between workload, managerial support, emotional intelligence, and job satisfaction based on the principles of Human Resource Management (HRM) and Quality of Work Life (QWL). Primary and secondary data were used in the analysis of the perceptions of flexibility, stress, and satisfaction to the employees in the different departments. The results indicate that the employees encounter the problems of excessive working hours, tight schedules, and lack of managerial compassion that lead to stress, loss of motivation, and decreased job satisfaction. Moreover, the work-family conflict is exacerbated by gender differences and lack of wellness strategies and programs. The study finds that advancing work-life balance by means of flexible work arrangements, wellness programs as well as enabling leadership is not just an employee welfare action but a strategic progressive requirement to a sustainable growth and retention. The adoption of these initiatives could assist Apitoria Pharma to boost the morale, productivity, and commitment of the employees besides nurturing well-being and a culture of resiliency.
