A STUDY ON HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT IN WORK-LIFE BALANCE OF REMOTE EMPLOYEES

Abstract

The adoption of remote working has grown significantly in recent years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic and rapid digital transformation. While remote work provides flexibility and autonomy to employees, it also creates challenges in maintaining a clear balance between professional responsibilities and personal life. In this context, Human Resource Development (HRD) practices play a crucial role in supporting employees and ensuring effective work management. This study mainly examines the influence of HRD practices on the work-life balance of remote employees. Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire from employees working at Sutherland Global Services Private Limited, Chennai. The findings clearly shows that well-designed HRD initiatives can enhance employee well-being, improve productivity, and contribute to long-term organizational sustainability in remote work environments.
