ALTERNATIVE WORK MODELS FOR WORK-LIFE BALANCE AT YASHODA HOSPITALS

Abstract

Work-life balance has emerged as a major concern in labor-intensive industries such as healthcare, where it influences organizational performance, job satisfaction, and employee wellbeing. This research looks into the implementation and outcomes of alternative work models at Yashoda Hospitals, a renowned multispecialty medical facility. We look at the effectiveness of various work models, including as shift rotation, job sharing, flexible scheduling, shorter workweeks, and remote or hybrid arrangements for non-clinical workers, in lowering weariness and increasing employee satisfaction. The research also discusses Yashoda Hospitals' revolutionary "work-from-hospital" program, which allows patients' family members and caregivers to continue working while in the hospital. The findings show that, while hospital operations require a high level of on-site presence, work-life balance may be significantly improved without sacrificing service quality by implementing current scheduling approaches and structured flexibility. According to the report, using alternative work models in medical contexts can boost employee morale, increase retention, and foster a more sustainable and healthy working culture.
