Abstract
There are n number of researchers who focused on the topic work-life balance strategies and its influences on the employees. Even the successful strategies had be discussed enough but not the implementations of these strategies as much as needed. I would like to focus more on the implementation of successful strategies. The clause ‘Successful’ means that the strategies which fit the organization’s requirements and satisfy the employees as well. The concept of the implementations of the strategies will be based on the theorizing “Make hay while the sun shines”. In order to implement the Work-Life Balance strategy successfully these are the different stages to be followed; Identifying the right strategies, right time to implement the strategy,beneficiary of the strategy, and evaluation of the strategy.
