For the Slim Majority of Women, Work and Personal Lives are Balanced, But Not for All, According to the Kenexa Research Institute
The Kenexa Research Institute evaluated female workers’ opinions of work/life balance. In the U.S. 61% of women report their company supports employees’ efforts to balance work and family/personal responsibilities. The report is based on the analysis of data drawn from a representative sample of 10,000 U.S. workers who were surveyed through WorkTrends™, KRI’s annual survey of worker opinions.
Traditionally, women play a large role in managing their family responsibilities and, therefore, are likely to feel the pressure of balancing both work and family demands. Although there are competing pressures from both work and home, in the United States, 61% of women state that they can meet career goals and still devote sufficient attention to their personal lives.
