To create a balance between living, working, and resting to be appropriate for each person in order not to cause adverse effects on physical and mental health and to adjust the time appropriately by accepting the change of time, which is impermanent, the unpredictability of the situation. so that work and activities can continue continuously in the current economic crisis. Every working life, each person is committed to improving their quality of life, regardless of gender, both male and female. On the issue of work-life balance, one must earn a living with other aspects of people's lives. It has received more attention in both the public and private sectors of countries worldwide. This is partly due to changing demographic and socioeconomic trends, such as more women working outside the home. Or the workforce's average age (ageing workforce). However, suppose organisations want to attract and retain talented human capital to stay with the organisation for a long time.
