The paper determines the level of work life balance (WLB) while work from home and while attending the office regularly. The participants were same and they have to rate the Work Life Balance assuming themselves in both the situations. The two groups compared were male employees and female employees. The participants were taken randomly from four engineering consultancies in NCR (Jacobs Engineering, Tractebel Engineering, Bechtel India Pvt. Ltd. and Ercom Engineers Pvt. ltd.). 124 completed responses found to be completed. Further the study compares the mean values of Work Life Balance while work from home and regular office among male and female employees. The results reveal that the employees can maintain the WLB level well while work from home. The hypothesis testing results show that there is no significant difference among the male and female employees in the level of Work Life Balance while work from home and regular office.
