Abstract	Flexible work arrangements (FWAs) have become increasingly popular in recent years, allowing employees to have more control over when, where, and how they work. This trend has been driven by several factors, including technological advancements, changing workforce demographics, and the need for companies to attract and retain top talent. The impact of FWAs on work-life balance has been a topic of much discussion and research. Work-life balance refers to the ability of individuals to balance their work and personal responsibilities, and achieve a sense of harmony between the two. FWAs have the potential to positively impact work-life balance by providing employees with greater control and flexibility over their work schedules and locations. Studies have shown that employees who have access to FWAs report higher levels of job satisfaction, lower levels of work-related stress, and greater overall well-being. They also report that FWAs allow them to better manage their personal and family responsibilities, leading to a better work-life balance. Additionally, FWAs have been found to have a positive impact on productivity and employee engagement, as well as reducing absenteeism and turnover rates. However, there are also some potential drawbacks to FWAs, including the risk of increased isolation and decreased collaboration among team members. There is also a risk that employees may struggle to disconnect from work outside of traditional working hours, leading to an unhealthy work-life balance. In conclusion, while FWAs have the potential to positively impact work-life balance, they need to be implemented in a thoughtful and strategic manner to ensure that they are effective for both employees and employers. Companies should consider the unique needs of their workforce and create policies and practices that support the use of FWAs while also fostering a collaborative and connected workplace culture.
