This research paper examined the impact of changed work environment, due to pandemic, on working women and how they managed to realize the work-life balance. The study wanted to find out whether there was any impact on women's workplace engagement and workplace stress.

The study found that there was significant relationship between all the three factors, affecting WLB, from respondents' perspective. The R-square of the SEM model was found to be .78, which indicated that 78% of the variance in WLB could be attributed to work engagement, work stress and family life.
