Summary
Details

The vital role of human resources in contributing to a country's economic development is undeniable. Economic progress hinges on the effective utilization of a nation's physical resources by its labor force and other forms of manpower to fully harness the country's production potential. Within the service sector, human resources emerge as the most significant contributor to the Indian economy.

For most adults, the domains of work and life hold utmost importance. Regardless of one's profession, achieving a balance between work and life is an imperative challenge faced by all employees. Work-life balance is not only essential for the workforce but also crucial for the organization itself. When employees successfully strike a balance between their work and personal lives, it becomes evident in their performance and effectiveness in both spheres-work and life. The right equilibrium between work and life plays a pivotal role in attaining both personal and organizational goals. Moreover, work-life balance significantly influences employees' attitudes towards their organization and their overall satisfaction with their lives.

In recent decades, sweeping changes in the social, religious, political, and economic landscape have spurred a rapid increase in the number of women entering the paid labor force in India and elsewhere. The rise in women's literacy rates in India has resulted in a demographic shift, marked by a growing number of women in the workforce. In the 21st century, a substantial portion of women has been engaged in various fields. According to the latest census data from 2011, 25.6% of women in India actively participate in the workforce. The surge in nuclear and dual-earner families has placed significant pressure on both men and women to effectively manage their work and family responsibilities.

The profession of policing presents a challenging, and at times, outright hostile work environment for both women and men officers. Achieving work-life balance poses a critical issue for police personnel. Policing stands out as one of the occupations characterized by a high level of stress. The duties of police constables encompass a wide array of responsibilities, including law enforcement, peacekeeping, protection of individuals and property, and investigative work.
