Abstract
Work life balance is a very pertinent topic at present, particularly for women. Research to date has shown that more women are returning to work after having children. Research carried out in this area has also shown that work life balance can lead to increased job satisfaction and productivity. While the issue of work life balance has been examined in a number of sectors, to date there remains a gap in the literature in relation to the work life balance of fulltime female employees in the asset management industry and whether they are satisfied with their work life balance.
A qualitative approach was used in this study in the form of interviews with full-time female asset management employees. The interview questions were formed based on current literature and research objectives. Thematic analysis was used in order to analyse the transcripts. The findings indicated that there is an overall level of dissatisfaction with work life balance for females in the asset management industry. The conclusion from this research shows that more could be done by asset management organisations to support their employee’s work life balance such as allowing staff to work from home a few days per week. The recommendation is for organisations to support their staff in relation to flexible working arrangements.
