Although there are competing pressures from both work and home, in India, 69 per cent of women said that they could meet career goals and still devote sufficient attention to their personal lives, a survey said.

These were findings of a research conducted by the Kenexa Research Institute (KRI), a division of Kenexa, a global provider of business solutions for human resources in March 2010 using 1000 Indian respondents in the age group of 18-58 and working for a variety of industries from manufacturing to banking and financial, to hi tech manufacturing.

"Women in India report they are more likely to achieve balance when their stress level at work is reasonable, they enjoy, in fact get excited about their work, they feel there is a promising future for them at the company, the company values their contribution and their manager makes a personal investment in their growth and development", the report said.

In India 66 per cent of women report their company supports employees' efforts to balance work and family/personal responsibilities
