Welcome to the Irish Work Life Balance website

Work Life Balance

Work Life Balance consists of the implementation of working arrangements and policies which assist workers in combining employment with other aspects of their lives. Employers can benefit from these policies too as they can help to develop a more committed and productive workforce.

The website is hosted by the National Framework Committee for Work Life Balance Policies. The Committee was established under the Programme for Prosperity and Fairness and continues under our current National Agreement.

It is chaired by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation and its membership is made up of representatives from:

IBEC

Congress

The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Innovation

The Department of the Taoiseach

The Department of Finance

The Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform

The Department of Social Protection

The Equality Authority
