It is common knowledge that developed countries pay, or at least used to pay, great attention to the Higher Education industry through scholarships from public or private sources and general reduction of tuition costs so as to encourage and assist those who desire Higher Education. The significance of higher education becomes paramount as knowledge increasingly plays a key role in fostering economic and social development. This book focuses on work life balance, which is the degree to which a person is engaged in and satisfied with, in equal measure, his or her work and non-work roles, within a tertiary institution. The book is based on a field study research conducted in a tertiary institution. It is known that the success and the sustainability of any organisation mainly depend on its competitiveness, which itself is a function of the stability and well-being of its people and their talents. Organisational wealth is closely tied to personal health and skills, which are at the centre of talent development. This book is just going to show that.
