Women’s Web is saying Goodbye! Please make sure you read this important notification.
Most jobs, specially in developing economies, do not give much emphasis on work-life balance! The result of this is confused, overworked and frustrated individuals who in spite of all the earnings are just not happy.
Everyone often advises you, “To have Work-life balance!”
And you reply with a sigh, “Ugh… I really wish!”
While people often tell you how important it is to start living and not just to make a living, they forgot the important footers.
Most jobs, specially in developing economies, do not give much emphasis on work-life balance! The result of this is; confused, overworked and frustrated individuals who in spite of all the earnings are just not happy.
While, a lot has been preached about the importance of balancing your work and life.
The reality remains that despite all the talks around this issue, most sectors do not have even an idea of how important it is for people to stay ‘alive’ or ‘balanced.’
The mornings of an employee in a company start with a rush to reach the office on time, and the evenings die with waiting at traffic signals to reach home before his child sleeps.
Yes, as harsh it may sound, 9 to 9 jobs are the actual reality where having even a couple of weekends off is a ‘privilege.’ Leaving at 8 in the morning to sitting for dinner at 10, leaves you with little space for living your life!
The pandemic has given us all a fresh perspective on the importance of good health, healthy familial relations and to be living each day.
But the objective will not be achieved until the leaders decide to value their employees.
Employers should recognize the contribution of employees towards a successful business. And profit lies in realizing that an overworked employee is not an asset, but a happy one is!

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
