Work-Life Balance Interventions in Remote and Hybrid Work Settings: Effects on Employee Productivity and Performance

Author(s) Dr. Breeze Tripathi
Country India
Abstract The rapid expansion of remote and hybrid work models has fundamentally reshaped organizational structures, employee expectations and the nature of work-life boundaries. While these flexible arrangements offer increased autonomy, they also intensify risks related to boundary blurring, digital overload and work intensification. This study examines the effectiveness of work-life balance (WLB) interventions in remote and hybrid work environments and evaluates their impact on employee productivity and performance. Drawing on an extensive review of empirical literature, organizational reports and theoretical models such as Boundary Theory and the Job Demands–Resources framework, the research analyzes how policy-based, technological, managerial and individual-level interventions influence key work outcomes. Findings from prior studies indicate that interventions such as flexible scheduling, right-to-disconnect policies, meeting caps, asynchronous communication norms and managerial support significantly reduce work-family conflict, enhance psychological detachment and improve cognitive focus. These mechanisms collectively contribute to enhanced task performance, greater operational efficiency and higher employee engagement. However, the literature also highlights challenges including inequitable access to interventions, digital fatigue, inconsistent managerial enforcement and disparities across job roles and demographics. The study concludes that effective WLB interventions must be holistic, integrated and supported by organizational culture to yield consistent productivity improvements in remote and hybrid settings. Implications for practice and opportunities for future research are also discussed to guide organizations in designing sustainable and equitable work-life balance strategies.
Keywords Work-life balance, remote work, hybrid work, employee productivity, performance management, digital well-being, flexible work arrangements, managerial support.
