Abstract

Burnout rates and physician dissatisfaction are at an all-time high. Work-life balance is the panacea to worker's burn-out. The dictionary defines work-life balance as "the amount of time you spend doing your job compared with the amount of time you spend with yournfamily and doing things you enjoy". Workers in public sector work officially for 8hrs per day and depending on the profession this may be further prolonged as in the health sector for 24hrs in some days of the week.
