Abstract
Due to major changes and challenges in the way of conducting business in recent decades, establishing work/life balance of employees and managers has become a very important topic. The aim of this paper is to emphasize the obstacles to successfully establishing this balance, the most important of which being the supportive organizational culture and superiors' communication. Another goal of this paper is to introduce the Standards of Excellence Index as a measure for determining the success of the companies' work/life balance programs for employees and managers within 7 components: leadership, strategy, infrastructure, accountability, relationship building, communication, and measurement. In this regard, this paper presents research results on this index in companies in America, where this index was created.
