work-life
Job versus personal
Work-life functions as a modifier describing the relationship between one's job and personal time, appearing almost exclusively in compounds like work-life balance or work-life integration.
The term emerged as modern employment increasingly blurred boundaries between professional and private spheres.
A healthy work-life balance suggests adequate time for both career demands and personal pursuits like family, hobbies, and rest.
The company offers flexible scheduling to support work-life balance.
