This essay will focus on the origins of work-life balance policies and how they came into existence. As this is multi-layered and covers a whole range of attributing factors these are drawn from key sources and representative case studies and surveys, in order for consistency. It will further attempt to clarify the reasons for the development of work-life balance polices and identify and explain why work-life balance policies may differ from one organisation to the next. Consideration will be given as to whether some aspects of work-life balance strategies can be adopted within all organisations as a framework to expand upon as necessary, dependent upon the nature and size of an organisation. The strengths and weaknesses that work-life balance policies can impose on an individual within the internal work environment and the external non-work environment will also be addressed. From this, an explanation is drawn on the importance for development of work-life balance policies within employee relations in the UK.
